Kennedy Family from Towlerton

Tina:

I looked on Roots Ireland. The RC parish for Killeshin is Graigue and their records start in 1819 but they are not on Roots. I did find the baptismal records for Sarah and her sister Anne in the Doonane RC parish which is just to the west of Graigue.

I was unable to find the Arthur Kennedy/Catherine McDarby marriage or the Sarah Kennedy/John Revels marriage. Possibly they occurred in Graigue.

On July 8th, the National Library of Ireland plans to place all RC parish registers online. I would search for
the missing records in the Graigue register.

You will note that the location on the baptismal records is Tolerton which I believe is Towlerton townland in Killabban civil parish which is just to the west of Killeshin. Possibly they moved from this location to Killeshin parish at a later date??

Roger,

Thank you so much for responding so quickly and researching this family!  I will take your suggestion and search the National Library of Ireland in July!

It is hard to wait but July will be here before I know it!
