White Family from Kilmore

WexfordKilmore (Wexford)

I am searching for information on the family of my GGGGrandmother, Johanna White, who was married to William Mithie/Mitty in Kilmore RC church in the early 1800s. I have found her marriage record and some of the baptismal records of her children who were baptisedin Our Lady'sIsland parish, Churchtown, Wexford. She is sometimeslisted as Peggy orJudy in the records. But her marriage record and her gravestone in Carne, Churchtown Cemeteryhave her name as Johanna. The Mitty name seems to have disappeared from Ireland. Johanna's daughter, Ellen, who is my GGGrandmotherimmigrated to NewYork City sometime before 1858. She married James Bulger, a blacksmith, either in NYC or perhaps Ireland. Cannot find any trace ofEllen in the church records. Have always thought there must be White family still in Ireland or elsewhere. White is such a common name so thought perhaps a posting here wouldhelp locate somweone related to Johanna. Thought I had found her baptismal record at the Kilmore church but think it is a record for a male child, John!. It is written in Latin so names very close. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I was unable to find a marriage record for Ellen but Bolger/Bulger is a Wexford surname.

Below are links to two Miity households in the 1911 census. Plus a link to the 28 Whites in the Lady's Island DED.

Let me know if youu have any questions.

Roger,

Thank you for the information. My Johanna White was born appx 1793 and was married in the Kilmore RC church in 1820. I do have a copy of the marriage entry from the church. The Mittys are probably all related to me, sadly no one left in that family. However, I will take a look at the Ladys Island White families in the census and see if that leads anywhere. Thanks again.

Best,

EIleen

Forgot to mention that Johanna White was listed as living in Kilturk Hill when she was married in the RC church in Kilmore. Also she is bured in the COI cemetery in Churchtown, Carne.
