  • Hi,

     

    Would you have any dates? I did find a marriage record from a Patrick McKenna and Honora Fitzgerald but do not know if this is the correct time frame

    Both are common names so this could be a different couple, might also be to early to be your great grandparents

    Area - KERRY (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - DINGLE

    Marriage of PATRICK MCKENNA of VENTRY and HONORA FITZGERALD of NR on 18 February 1843

  • Owen Fitzgerald was born about 1800 in Ireland, and left for the United States. He arrived here on August 1833.  That is about all I know of him other than what is on his headstone, Filiter Parish and he married in Ventry Parish before he came over.   Thank you, Candy

  • Yes I believe these are my 2x great grandparents, can you help me determine the actual church they may have attended?

  • Hi There was/is a church in Ventry but the records are in St Mary's church in Dingle. The current Ventry church is still part of the Dingle Parish. You wouldnfind the original records in Dingle Church.

    Hope this helps.
