My great great grandfather Patrick Savage migrated to Australia in late 1880's. I have had trouble trying to find his Irish family records. My only document is his Baptismal record as follows: Baptised Curraheen, Co Kerry, 8 February 1852, Mother Mary Corcoran (however family believe could be Mary Carmody but no evidence just handed down), Father Maurice Savage, Sponsor Thomas Savage & Elizabeth Looney. Irish Church Records: Book Number X, Page 8, Entry 131, Record Identifier; KY-RC-BA-475228. Patrick travelled to Australia with his brother Maurice who was baptised in 1853. I haven't been able to locate records for my Great Great Great Grandmother Mary Corcoran (or Carmody) or identify Patrick & Maurices dad (also called Maurice). If I could find a headstone or some records to expand our limited knowledge that would be a good start. Can anyone help with identifying a local Catholic cemetery that they may have been buried in or even some links to Corcoran / Carmody families that can help us solve our family riddle. I have documented Wikitree profiles for my family if that helps Wikitree Carmody-437

Hi Mark, the cemetery for the townlands of Tonavane, Annagh & Curraheen is at Annagh.
If you open the search box here at Kerry Local Authority graveyards for Annagh you will find a list of burial records that survive. There are also unmarked graves there with no known records. http://www.kerrylaburials.ie/en/SearchBurial.aspx
You might also find it useful to check the microfiche of births and marriages here https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0680 as it sometimes contains records and information not available on irishgenealogy.ie
Good luck now!
