Alice Elizabeth Kennedy

Hi Chris,
Alice was Baptised the 11th May.   Father was Patrick and Mother was Ann Shea. Is this correct? 
Have you got her Baptism record?
Have you got her travel record to the USA?
Also her married to Richard A Cunningham.
If you have can you upload them please.

There are a few trees in Ancestry I have seen one ship record in1864, parents and children, did she have a sister called Cath and a brother called Dan?
Let me know if they all went to the USA.

Hi Margot.. sorry for the delay in responding, for some reason I was having trouble logging in

This is all that I know about Alice Elizabeth (Kennedy) Cunningham

* born 24 ay 1847 and was baptized in the parish of Ballyneill.  It was said she lived on the "Kennedy Farm", lived in Clonmel near Carrick an Suir , her parents were Patrick and Mary Kennedy.  (this was information from a family member who has done a lot of research.  I do not have a baptismal or birth record

*. I believe Alice (16) emigrated and arrived in New York 5 Sep 1864 aboard the ship Hibernia.  Listed were Pat Kennedy (50) laborer b. Ireland, wife Ann (55),  Alice (16), Cath (14) and Dan (11). Later US census records confirm she immigrated 1864

* I believe she married Richard A Cunningham (from Lough) about 1867 (according to 1900 census saying she was married 33 yrs)

* I believe her sister Catherine died 19 June 1868 in Somerville, MA, US of TB, daughter of Pat & Ann Kennedy age 19 years, 4 mos, 12 days  putting her dob @ 7 Feb 1849

*.  1870 US census: Alice (21) & Richard (35) Cunningham were living with her parents Patrick (50) & Ann (55) Kennedy   along with 3 of Alice & Richard's children (Ann,2; Kate, 1; Joseph, 6 mos) and a Margaret O'Neill (10)

*  1880 US census: Richard (40) & Alice (32) living with 5 children and Ann Kennedy (50, "servant". missing one arm)....not sure how she is related

*. 1900 US census:  Alice was born Apr 1847, age 53,  married 33 yrs. , had 15 children/11 living; immigrated 1864

*. 1920 US census: naturalized 1875

* died 29 June 1921, in Lynn MA,US at age 74

Hoping some of this information helps.  Anything you can find would be great!!

thanks

Hi Chris, Thanks for confirming I had the correct family.

This is the Ballyneale early Church records where I found Alice.   Names are in Latin. Ballyneale is on the border of Tipperay and Waterford and some Diocese cross on Parishes.
That's why its handy to have a map 
Ballyneale, Waterford and Lismore - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI

The page where I found Alice I have uploaded it......... left hand page.....look for 11.

This link.....is a Patrick Kennedy in Griffiths Valuation in 1850.  (only one in Carrick) It says position on page 47.  It may take me a bit of time to find it, I will have to come back to you.
I must add, at this time it is so hard to get records unless you know the names of areas.

Hi Chris,     
This link see below,  when you open it you will see a white circle, inside you will see a red square.
Zoom in slowly and you will a lot of red lines and grey, this is Carrick on Suir. Go to the left where you will see the red vertical line of the square, go up to the corner of the red square look up a little and you will 13 a and b in red. Just up above there is some black writing...RC Chapel, then left you will see Ballyneil.  (different spellings) 
I couldn't find position 47 so I used the map reference 3  7.
Just below the Chapel you will see 3b and next to it is 7 where there is a lot of trees. Looks like that this is where the Patrick Kennedy lived.

At the top of the map there is a scale, keep looking at the Chapel and move the slider to modern map. This is how it is today.     If you zoom out you will get a better picture of where you are.

When you get over to Ireland just ask people or the Church do they know where the Kennedy Farm is or was.
 

Margot, Thanks so very very much!  I do not understand Griffith's but with the map I believe I was able to find #7 where you believe their farm was.  I think I can see the area on the modern map.  SO EXCITED.  We will be staying (I believe) in the Glasha farmhouse 30 min away for 2 nights and hope we can get near the area while ther

Many many thanks!

ps. where would I find Patrick and Ann Shea's marriage record?

Sorry, only births in those Church records for that Parish.

What I do in this site above, go left and right to the next Parish, it takes time, but if you would like to go to ............

HI

we will be visiting Ireland in September and hope to stop by Ballyneill looking for where the home site of my husband's great grandmother Alice E Kennedy and her family lived.  Are there any Kennedy's still living in Ballyneill that might be related to Alice or her Parents Patrick Kennedy & Ann Shea (born @ 1814/1815). Patrick, Ann (age 50), Alice (16), Catherine (14) and Dan (11) emigrated in 1864 aboard the ship Hibernia and eventually settled in Boston.
