My great-grandmother Elizabeth Ennis listed her birth as 1853 in County Kildare. No parish specified.  Her Father's name may be Michael. And her Mother's name may be Bridget Denehan or Monaghan. She had a sister Bridget born 1929, another sister Rose born 1837 and a brother James born 1842.  Any information on Elizabeth (she also went by Eliza), her parents and siblings greatly appreciated.  Elizabeth and the possible siblings listed all emigrated to the USA. I don't believe her parents emigrated.

    I've been searching on the subscription site Roots Ireland and I'm not having much success. There are no Ennis baptismal records with a mother with the surname Denehan or Monaghan. I then looked at Ennis baptismal records with a father Michael and there was no Bridget record around 1829, no Rose records at all and one James record in 1841. See below. Not all RC parishes in Co.Kildare have records back to the 1829 time period and Church of Ireland records are also not available or not available back to 1829 in many parishes. Any additional information?
