There don't seem to be many "Wiles" in Ireland at all. I am related to an Eliza Wiles who married Alexander Jenkins and lived in Altnamakin around 1860. Eliza had several sisters and a couple of brothers but can't find any living Wiles, or anyone else researching them.
Would like to make contact with anyone researching Jenkins as well.
Many thanks. Sally

Thank you Cecil. I have David and all his family. I really want to go further backwards. It was lovely to find them in the early census but still looking for more in Newtownhamilton.
Thank you for looking.
Hi. I'm say from home at the moment but I think I have all those. Kind of you to send them though. As soon as I'm home I'll email. Sally
