    I checked the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilrush parish. There was a John Heher who lived in the The Glen Kilrush town. I assume this is the father of the 1856 John Hehir. ( see below).


    I also checked www.familysearch.org for other children of John and Margaret and found a baptismal index record for a Bridget born in 1867.

  • Thanks Roger for your reply

    John Hehir 1856-1937 from Kilrush also had a daughter by the name of Bridget Ida Hehir born in Australia 22nd August 1888 and was a younger sister of my grandfather John born 26th March 1884. Eleven children in the family.

    Any information on John Hehir's (1856-1937) ancestors would be appreciated if available or clues on how to research from Australia.

    Regards Ray Hehir
