Wexford Roches
Hello,
I am attempting to establish whether I might have any relatives in the Tagoat district of County Wexford.
My Grandfather, Lawrence Roche, was born there in 1878 and migrated to Australia in 1896, alone.
He had a number of brothers and sisters, some of which are shown in the the 1901 and 1911 Census as farming in the Townland of Slad.
His father's name was Nicholas and he was born about 1823, but not sure where. Although, he was buried in 1887 in the Barntown Graveyard, Co. Wexford.
His mother was Ann Hayes. She was born about 1842 and died in 1898 with registration shown as Wexford. Am unsure where she was born or buried.
From what I have found, he had seven siblings; Sisters were - Bridgit, Anne, Margaret and Anastasia (who married a Nicholas Stewart). Brothers were - Patrick, Nicholas and John.
Would be most grateful for any information.
Lawrence Roche
