Greetings everyone!

For years, I've been trying to find my GG Grandparents, William WHATELY (or
WHEATLEY)
and Hannah WHITE. They were married in 1833 and lived in the
Baltinglass/Kiltegan area of Co Wicklow. No record seems to exist for the family except
for the baptism record of their son John who is my great grandfather. He was
born in 1855 in Kyle, emigrated to Canada in 1860. He went back to Ireland in
the 1870s and copied his information from the parish records.

I recently wrote to Rev Canon M. McCullagh at the Baltinglass Rectory for
help. I really didn't expect to hear back but I received a two page
handwritten letter from him a couple of weeks later. He didn't find William and Hannah
but he did send the following - perhaps it will help someone else on the
list:

(No WHEATLEY baptism entries)
WHEATLEYMarriages:
1872 Anthony WHEATLEY of Borkle, Kiltegan to Jane FREEMAN of Kilmurray (?),
Baltinglass. Anthony given as a farmer, son of Matthew WHEATLEY, a farmer,
of Baltinglass.

1860 Matthew WHEATLEY, a farmer, to Sarah COLLINS of Hacketstown (no address
for Matthew)

1859 William WHATLEY of Hacketstown, a farmer, to Elizabeth SHOW/SHAW (?) of
Boley, Baltinglass, William given as son of William WHATLEY, a farmer.

Burials:

Churchyard, age 88 yrs.

1843 and 1847 - George, William and Sarah Anne.

William given as son of John White, a farmer, Elizabeth as daughter of William
Jackson, a master mariner (?)

Burials:

yrs.

Rev McCullagh returned the IRCs I included with my request, explaining that
the post office no longer accepts them. Is this true everywhere in Ireland?
