John was born in Birr, Offaly in 1799 and Honora Powers was born in 1805. They were married in either 1826 or July 14, 1829 in St. Canice, Kilkenny. They immigrated to the US in 1838 to New York and made their way across to Iowa, which is where they settled. John died in 1849 in Iowa and Honora died in 1885. Any info about relatives still living would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Lines 10 and 11 on this link....The Tithe records, There are two Delehanty listed, they are in County Tipperary.
It only lists one a William but above him is Ian,The Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37 (nationalarchives.ie) You would have to know John's fathers name.
004625712/004625712_00171.pdf (nationalarchives.ie)Redcity is near Fethard.......see the map
🗺️ Map of Redcity, Middlethird, Tipperary - Google maps, OpenStreetMap and Bing maps (2ua.org)Not many records for Delehanty so I tried Delehunty ..........a few more.
The Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37 (nationalarchives.ie)
Powers......Kilkenny
The Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37 (nationalarchives.ie)Top Entry.....St Canice.........a John....................you would really have to know Honora's fathers name.
004625714/004625714_00113.pdf (nationalarchives.ie)To follow on from there you can search Griffiths Valuation........The only thing is some townlands names changed between 1837 and 1864.
Do you know of any siblings?

Hi Margot
I believe Johns' fathers name was Edmond and I think that there was a brother Edward who did not leave Ireland. And there is an Edmund Delahunty 1853 Ballincrea, Kilcolumb, Kilkenny on Griffiths Valuation but I must admit I am a little confused to read it. And scrolling up and down on the page was a person named Power that was apparently near by, Powers?
Thanks for all of your help.
