I have extensive information on my mother's side begining in 1818 in County Wicklow.William Freeman was a constable, married Johanna Rice (Abt 1824) from Kilkenny. They lived in Griague and had 3 boys John 1854-1914, Samuel 1858-1936 and Thomas Edward 1865-1930. John went to Chicago Ilinois. Samuel stayed and married Mary(unknown) and had 5 children Johanna 1884-1957 in Hertford England, Isabela-1885, William 1886,,Selena 1888, Henry 1893 and Samuel 1894.
Thomas Edward is my great grandfather also a constable, only for one year, lived in Chicago Il.
I would like to connect with someone who could help with locating Johanna's the parish in Kilkenny.
She passed away in Castlecomer in 1890. Willaim passed away in 1873.
Thomas married Mary Morrissey need information on this family also Thanks for any help
