Other Events:

• RESEARCH: 7 Dec 1855, County Wexford, Ireland; Ellen Jolley testified on this date in "Wexford," along with Edward Foster, Philip Purcell, and Francis Sweeney. No further information. Clonegal is apparently on the border of Wexford, possibly partly in Wexford, or possibly the Civil Parish or Church of England Parish covers parts of both and maybe part of Wicklow. I don't have a clear understanding of this yet.
