I am looking for information on Johanna Hyland (nee Pendergast), my great grandmother. She married Patrick Hyland in 1869. Patrick was son born in 1844 to Joseph Hyland and Mary Meagher from Avoca, Wicklow County. Patrick's son, Joseph Hyland, born 1885, married Sarah Johnson, my grandparents, eventually emigrating to St. Helen's, Merseyside, Lancashire, England area. I am trying to find information on Johanna's parents, particularly her mother. I understand that Richard Pendergast is her father. Any assistance would be welcome.

I was unable to locate a Patrick Hyland marriage to a Pendergast/Prendergast.
On the subscription site Roots Ireland I did find a Maria Hyland born February 24 1870 and baptized two days latere at the Avoca RC parish in Co. Wicklow. Father was Patrick and mother Jane Pendergast. Also, Margaret Hyland born February 16 1873 and baptized two days later again Avoca RC parish and same parents. Possibly Jane is your Johanna.
The only Joseph Hyland with father Patrick that I could locate was baptized January 27 1885 in Navan town Co. Meath. The mother was listed as Ann Alders.
I don't see a Jane/Johanna Pendergast/Prendergast baptismal record with father Richard in the 1840s.
