History
Ardcolm was described as a Union in 1764 including some 8 parishes. Castlebridge Church was built as a replacement church for Ardcolm church in 1766. The parish of Kilpatrick was separated from Ardcolm in 1829 but was later reunited in 1922 with Killurin. This united Union remained until 1970 when it was amalgamated with Wexford.

Below is a list of Surnames transcribed by Marianne Young from the Baptisms Burials & Marriage Registers (Errors and omissions excused). The original registers can be viewed at the RCB Library, Dublin. Please note that at the time of the event many of the population were illiterate and the spelling of surnames was often the interpretation of the officiating cleric e.g. McEwen could be the same as McKeon.
