Hi Al,
 
I noticed your page on William Kerwin from Wicklow. I'm always on the lookout
 for another tenant of Lord Fitzwilliam's estate in Carnew parish, Co. Wicklow,
 and I think William may be one.
 
From what I can see on the web, Kerwin seems to be a variation of Kerrivan,
 and the Kerwin family of 1851 Gloucester (attached) seem to fit the Kerrivan
 family below. They were slated to emigrate in 1847 along with James's father,
 William, who died in the meantime. The ages for the 1847 emigration
 notice vary a bit from these below.
 
If you look at the 1851 census page, the ages vary a bit too, but the wife
 (enumerated as Ann) is older than her husband, as in the Fitzwilliam entry.
 I presume the child, John, died on the crossing.
 
Anyway, see what you think, Al.

A brand new tombstone commemorating the William Kerwin family has been 
set up in Our Lady of the Visitation Cemetery at South Gloucester within 
the past few years. Someone may have done a lot of research already. 
I'm sending a copy of this e-mail to Michael Daley -- he is also 
interested in the South Gloucester families.

The Bogtown School located at Armstrong and Bowesville Roads was also known 
as Kerwins school.  They lived right near there.  My Dad knew a lot of them 
when he was young and we were often babysat by Cecila Kerwin who ended up 
living across from Our Lady of the Visitation School - I know there was a Lawrence 
etc.  My Grandmother went to school with them too.
