Ormsby

WexfordBallyhuskard (Wexford)

I am looking for information on my 3 x ggrandparents, Blakeney Ormsby and Elinor Rath who were married in 1795 in the Diocese of Ferns. They had a son George Ormsby, who was married 1st. to Maryanne Hollingsworth d/o Samuel Hollingsworth oat Ballycanew, Wexford Jan 1841 after her death George married Elizabeth Bolton d/o Fossey Bolton on Mar. 5 1849 in Wexford. I am also looking for the names and information on the children born to George and his first wife Maryanne. These families all lived in the County Wexford area and were C Of I. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and thanks for your message.

As you can see from the link below, Ballycanew is a Civil Parish in Co Wexford:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=2520&civilparish=Ballycanew&citycounty=Wexford

The Church of Ireland records for Ballycanew begin in 1733. Have you already searched www.familysearch.org or www.rootsireland.ie (a subscription site) for records of George's marriages? A small number of parish registers have been digitised and are available on the Church of Ireland official website: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/168

Some Wexford graves have been transcribed and are available online at:

Best of luck with your search
