Recherche Susannah Nairac de Bray née vers 1760, mariée à Thomas Exshaw de Bray lui aussi, né en 1749.

Hello Patricia,

I found the marriage index for Thomas Exshaw and Susannah Nairac at the subscription Ancestry.com website.

In turn, the index at Ancestry.com was obtained from records at the Geneanet Community Trees Index.

The marriage record shows that Thomas and Susannah were married on 26 December 1749 in Dublin, Dublin, Leinster, which means the marriage took place in Dublin City.

The index also shows that Thomas was born in Dublin on 4 November 1749, and that his parents were John Exshaw and Faith Walker. Also included in the index is Thomas's date of death. He died on 17 January 1782. His place of death is not recorded.

In addition the index shows that Thomas and Susannah had a son named John Thomas Exshaw.

See the index below:

Attached to this reply is the marriage license index for Thomas Exshaw and Susannah Nairac as recorded in the "Dublin, Ireland, Probate Record and Marriage License Index, 1270-1858."

The marriage license entry on the page is indicated by the black arrow.

Next is the marriage index for Thomas's parents, John "Ecshaw" and Faith Walker, who were married on 23 February 1747. Their "residence place" is listed as Saint "Auburghs," Dublin.

Saint "Auburghs" is an index transcription error, as the name of this Civil Parish is Saint Werburgh's, located in Dublin City.

The index is from the Ancestry.com collection, "Ireland, Abstracts of Wills and Marriages, 1620-1923," sourced from the National Archives of Ireland. See below:

Ireland, Abstracts of Wills and Marriages, 1620-1923

Name John Ecshaw

See the attachment for a copy of the original handwritten marriage record for John Ecshaw and Faith Walker.

Because of the handwriting, the marriage record can be a challenge to read. Below is my transcription of the marriage record. You'll see that at the time of marriage John Ecshaw was a "Bookseller" in Dublin.

"Ecshaw John of the

Parish of Saint Werburghs

Dublin Bookseller

And Walker Faith of the same parish SW

& dated the 23d February

1747"

NOTE: I have to mention here that not all the records you'll see in this reply from Ancestry.com and Geneanet Community Trees Indexes, come with original source material, such as the 23 February 1747 marriage of John Exshaw and Faith Walker above, linked from Ancestry.com

Many of the records found at Ancestry.com and Geneanet Community Trees Indexes are user submitted, and may be subject to errors. Look at these unsourced records as finding aids, or indirect evidence for the time being, rather than direct proof of a birth, baptism, marriage, or death. END OF NOTE

According to the marriage record, both John Ecshaw and Faith Walker were living in the Dublin City Civil Parish of Saint Werburgh's. This means it's possible that John and Faith were married in the St. Werburgh's Church of Ireland, which still stands, and is located in Werburgh Street, Dublin 8, Dublin City. The church opened for worship in 1719.

I didn't find the burial index for John Exshaw at the irishgeealogy.ie website.

Back to the Ancestry.com and the Geneanet Community Trees Index, I located further information about Susannah Nairac, which includes her date and place of birth, and the names of father and mother, who were Antoine Henri Paul Nairach, and Anne O'Connor.

She was born in Dublin City in 1761.

The index also includes her marriage to Thomas Exshaw in 1779, and the marriage to her second husband, Henry Marie Salaun de Kerbalanec, which took place in Saint-Pierre, Département d'Outre-Mer (Saint-Pierre), Réunion (Reunion), on 23 déc. 1829 (23 Dec 1829).

Also included in the index is the child she had with Thomas Exshaw (John Exshaw) and the names of the children she had with her second husband, Marie Salaun de Kerbalanec.

The index further shows that Susannah died on 23 December 1829 in "Port-Louis, Port Louis (Port Louis), Maurice (Mauritius)."

Concerning Susannah Nairac Exshaw and her second husband Henry Marie Salaun de Kerbalanec, I found their Ancestry.com/Geneanet Community Trees Index, which shows they married in Saint-Pierre, Département d'Outre-Mer (Saint-Pierre), Réunion (Reunion), on 15 July 1788.

Saint-Pierre, Réunion, is an island east of the island of Madagascar, and southwest of the island of Mauritius. If you recall from a previous index, Susannah died in Mauritius on 23 December 1829.

Patricia, in your message to Ireland Reaching Out, you had mentioned that Susannah Nairac and Thomas Exshaw were "de Bray," that is, from Bray, County Wicklow.

I didn't uncover any records for them or their children living in Bray, though it is possible that they had lived in Bray, either individually, or as a married couple, at some time during their lives, as Bray, Wicklow, is just south of Dublin City. See the Google Map: https://tinyurl.com/2rcfby6x

As you've noticed in this reply, many of the records were found at the Ancesry.com subscription website, which included links to the free Geneanet Community Trees Index.

There is also an annual subscription option at the Geneanet Community Trees Index to access even more records.

Ancestry.com, linked to the Geneanet Community Trees Index, will have many more records concerning Susannah Nairac and Thomas Exshaw, and their son John, and Susannah Nairac and her second husband, Henry Marie Salaun de Kerbalanec, and their children.

This reply includes only a sampling of the records available online for them and their respective families at the Geneanet Community Trees Index.

But again, caution is needed. Many of these user-submitted records do not come with original source material, such as birth, baptism, marriage, or death records, as previously noted in this reply.

With Best Wishes,

Dave Boylan
