My surname is Wade.
CorkKilgarriffe (Cork)
My grandfather, John Wade, was born in 1882 in, or near, Clonakilty. He had one brother, Jerry, and a sister. His brother, and then he, emigrated to America. His sister emigrated to Canada. He and his brother came to an aunt in Taunton, Massachusetts.
He had a relative who lived at No. 11 Barracks Hill (now MacCurtain Hill) in Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
He was Catholic. His family was poor. I find very little material on people with the surname Wade from Ireland, especially with those demographics.
I wonder if I have, yet, any Wade relatives in Clonakilty.
