My grandmother and all of her siblings were baptised at St. John's Catholic church near the train station in Kilkenny.
Her mothers maiden name was Mills. I think her grandmother on her fathers side was Kavanagh and might have lived in Carlow. Why I think this is because Gran named every dog they owned by the name of Carlow. I could never understand why until I found the name of the town.
One of her sisters married Samuel Johnson.
Two of my cousins in Kilkenny have the last name of Kerwin.
We were always told Grans last name was spelled Connery but on one of my trips to Kilkenny a cousin with her maiden name said it was spelled Conry.
All help is appreciated.
One of the things I find interesting is how they managed to stay in Ireland during the famines as well as the British control.
Regards,
Eleanor
