Kennedy ancestors from area Templederry

Hi,  This is John Paul Kennedy's birth record.
See below.

Margot

I have been looking into all your information.
Was your Thomas Kennedy born in Bolingbrook, this is a townland in Silvermies/Dolla?
If he was then I have more information.
Margot

Hi Margot, thank you for your interest and your reply. - I am familiar with irishgenealogy.ie/civilrecords. That is how I researched all what I found out around John Kennedey, farmer from Ballyhane, first cousin of my ggggrandfather James Kennedy. - Of Thomas Kennedy we do not know birthyear, birthplace, place where he lived, when he died and where he is buried. A guess is that he died early. There are only two sons known in the wider family, John and James K.. - There is a rumour going around that our Kennedys are connected with a Reverend Kennedy who had land in Ballyhane. This townland might have been the place to farm for the eldest of the family and possibly my Thomas Kennedy had to leave. There is also a guess that he worked for the Palliser family from Derryluskan... Marlise

Margot, I just watched where Bolingbrook lies. And it is rather close to Ballyhane which is more west of Dolla. In the census 1901 is a Thomas Kennedy 35 yrs old unmarried, but this is a much too young generation. Do you have information about a Thomas Kennedy who was born prior 1800? Marlise

Hi Marlise,
You say....
In the census 1901 is a Thomas Kennedy 35 yrs old unmarried, but this is a much too young generation.

His Father was Stephen Kennedy and his Mother was Margaret Ryan.  On one of the childrens births it had as the address Garryard, this was crossed out and Bollingbrook entered.
I cannot find Stephen and Margaret's marriage to get his fathers name.
As you can see on the 1901 Census Bolligbrook is in the Parish of Kilmore.
This is where my Kennedy's are from. 
In Ancestry I keep getting a match to my Kennedy brothers, Michael and Matthew from Kilmore Parish with the father being Philip Kennedy.
I keep looking at this and not sure.
his isn't any of the DNA matches this, is from hard graft searching.
Michael is my line and I have all the people listed down to me, this is from c 1760
One of the earliest on line recrds is this link. to show howmant townlands in Kiilmore there are........
The Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37 (nationalarchives.ie)

By this time of the above records my Kennedy's had moved up to areas around Borrisokane, this is where they stayed and were Blacksmiths.
I am in touch with each line from there to Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

I need to do a bit more digging to see if it is Philip Kennedy and that your Thomas is another brother to Michael and Matthew.
It may take a bit of time, lets hope we get the information.

Cheers for now
Margot

Margot, did you make a DNA test? If yes, with which company and membername?

I did it with MyHeritage, Ancestry and 23andme, I am also on Gedmatch with the kitname Miracula and Nr KD2857752.

Hi Marlise,
No, I have never done a DNA test, my cousin keeps telling me to have one but I wont.
I know where I come from.
I spoke to my parents over many years about family and what they did and where they went and made notes of both families.
I did get to know a lot of people in the surrounding areas and the names of the townlands.

This Father Kennedy who founded a church in Syracuse New York was very close to my ancestors who were from Templederry .

They were Bourkes. Winifred & Katherine

Father Kennedy remembered them both in his will among other people who I believe also migrated to New York from the Templederry area .

Kind Regards, Michael Ferris.

OUR HISTORY

In 1872 a request was made for a new parish to serve Roman Catholics residing west of Onondaga Creek.  The Reverend John J. Kennedy from Saint Mary's Parish in Albany was appointed as the first pastor.  Father Kennedy had initially been rejected for priesthood because of near blindness and vowed that, if he recovered his sight, he would dedicate a shrine or church to Saint Lucy.  So the new parish became Saint Lucy's. Some 10,000 people attended the laying of the cornerstone on June 21, 1873.  Noted architect Archimedes Russell designed the church in the decorative English Gothic style. It was built at the cost of $40,000.  The first Mass was celebrated in the church basement on the Feast of All Saints, November 1, 1873.  The first Mass in the church proper was celebrated on Christmas Day, 1875.  At the time the church comprised 1,000 families and seated about 1,400 people.  The parish school, St. Lucy's Academy, opened in 1891.
