I am the Great Grandaughter of William Valentine born 1866 Rathsallagh County Wicklow. Would love to be able to connect with extended family or people who live in the area. I visited the location of My G Grandfathers home last year, and fell in love with Ireland. I long to return.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out! I checked the online Irish phone book and did not see any Valentine or Bolton entries in the Rath sallagh area.
Rathsallagh does have a Facebook page that you may want to join.
As an aside, the 1854 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Rathsallagh parish shows a William Valentine and two Bolton entries likely ancestors. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/wicklow/rathsallagh.htm
