I am seeking information on my 3x great grandparents, Thomas Neville and Margaret Moriarity.  They lived in Lenamore, Ballylongford, Kerry.  I estimate they were both born around 1802ish.  I have no record for Margaret's birth.  I found 1 record for Thomas but can't be sure it is the correct person.  

Thomas and Margaret had the following sons:  Thomas born 1825, Michael born 1828, Timothy and Denis born 1831, and another Denis born 1833.  

Baptismal sponsor names are:  John Moriarity, Ellen Enright, Daniel Sullivan, Mary Fennell, Denis Moriarity, and Ellen Connor.  They were all baptised in Ballylongford.  

Thomas Nevill's occupation was listed as NR on the baptism records and I do not know what this means.  

Timothy Neville was my 2x great grandfather who immigrated to USA in the 1850's.  He was a worker in the wool mills in Connecticut.  He died in 1887 of tuberculosis.   

I would like to find out as much info as I can on this family.  I appreciate anyone who has the time to help.  

Thank you, 

Stephanie White

    Records for Ballylongford church start in 1823 for baptisms and 1826 for marriages so you won't find a baptismal record for the elder Thomas Neville or Margaret Moriarty. 

    I did find Thomas in the 1824 Tithe listings. He was sharing land with two other parties. They had a lot of acres but most of the land was poor. See record under Lanamore on the right hand sie of the page. Fifth record down.

    The 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Aghavallen civil parish shows a Morgan Neville and a Thomas Neville in Leanamore townland.  https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/kerry/aghavallen.php  Possibly Thomas is the 1825 brother to Timothy.

    NR means no record
