I am trying to trace my family history and have come to a dead end. Living in Spain, I am finding it extremely difficult Unfortunately, all my known relatives have died and left little information on my ancestors. Our family name is Whelton and we come from Dunowen, Ardfield, Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
My earliest traceable ancestor is John William Whelton (my Great Grandfather) a landowner at Dunowen. He lived as far as I can establish, from about 1850 to 1936 having had nine children. Please, if there is anyone out there who could help me put some ‘branches’ on my family tree or has any information regarding dates etc. I would be most grateful. I know there are a lot of Wheltons out there, but how and where do they all tie in?
Yours
