Borough of Wexford - Wexford Guide and Directory, 1885
About “Wexford County Guide and Directory,” 1885
George Henry Bassett produced 7 Irish county directories in the 1880s: Antrim, Armagh, Down, Kilkenny, Louth, Tipperary and Wexford. Each provides useful history of the respective counties as well as lists of office holders, farmers, traders, and other residents of the individual cities, towns and villages.
The directories are naturally an invaluable resource for those tracing family history. However, there are a few points to bear in mind.
- This online version of Bassett’s Wexford County Guide and Directory is designed primarily as a genealogical research tool and therefore the numerous advertisements in the original book, many full page, and quite a few illustrated, have been excluded.
- The text has been proofed with due care, but with large bodies of text typographical errors are inevitably bound to occur.
- Be aware that there were often inconsistencies in spelling surnames in the 19th century and also that many forenames are abbreviated in Bassett’s directories.
With respect to the last point, surnames which today begin with the “Mc” prefix, for example, were often formerly spelt as “M‘,”. For a list of some of the more common forename abbreviations used in the directory, see Forename Abbreviations.

SUB-POST OFFICES IN THE BOROUGH OF WEXFORD DISTRICT.
DELAY in the delivery of letters is too often due to insufficient direction. The Postal authorities have divided the County Wexford into six parts, each having its own distributing centre. Divisions are made with a view to convenience, no account being taken of the nearness of villages in one division to the headquarters of another. For example, Castlebridge, which is about three miles, English, from the Borough of Wexford, is placed in the Gorey division, although Gorey is a great many miles further away. The explanation is simple and reasonable. The mail-car from Gorey passes through Castlebridge. Wexford, New Ross, Enniscorthy, Gorey and Ferns are head Post Offices, and Waterford is head to a few villages in the south-west. The address on a letter should include the head Post Office, as, for instance, Broadway, Wexford; Palace, New Ross; Bree, Enniscorthy; Screen, Gorey; Ballycarney, Ferns; &c.
