Searching for Treacy Family: Luke Treacy William Treacy & Family

WexfordKilgorman (Wexford)

Repeat of Message submitted in March 2013

"Searching for Luke Treacy, b. abt 1790, father of William Treacy, b. 1813, probably baptised in Wicklow. 

James & L Treacy are registered in the Tithe Applotment book of the Parish of Kilgorman, Co. of Wexford & Union of Arklow as holding 27 acres in Kilpatrick (date unknown). Have no idea if this is 'my' Luke Treacy, but William's death certificate of 1888 lists his father's occupation as 'farmer', mother 'Not Known'.

William Treacy received a life sentence for being in possession of a firearm, tried at County Kildare, Ireland 12 July 1834, (he was a White-boy), & was transported from Dublin aboard the "Lady McNaughton".

This is essentially all the information I have for William prior to his arrival in Sydney, so any information at all would be very welcome.

I will be in Ireland for 1 month from the 2nd of September this year, & am interested in hearing from/meeting up with anyone who could help me in my quest for this relatively unknown branch of my extensive Irish family tree."

Time is moving on and I am leaving for Ireland on Sunday 1st September. I will be based in Tipperary from the 9th to the 23rd of September, at the Templemore B&B.

Pat, if you can contact me by email, I would appreciate hearing if you have made any further discoveries for me.

It may be an idea to look at newspaper archives to see if you can find any more information on William and his trial. The National Library of Ireland on Kildare St. Dublin have a large collection:
