I've been researching my family history and through the Tipperary Family History Foundation, I was able to obtain baptism records for my relatives showing they came from the PallasGreen area of Limerick.  I visited Ireland in October 2011, and I went to various cemeteries in the area.  Unfortunately, I was unable to read the majority of the gravestones and as such, I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact town my relatives may have lived.  However, when I was in Kilteely, I noticed the cemetery had many stones with the names Hanley and London (Lundon) which are my ancestors names.  I was hoping for any information anyone may be able to share with me about the families in the area.

This is what I know:

Daniel Hanley married Bridget London (I have no birth, death or marriage dates for them), from the church records, I was able to find 4 children born to them.

- Johanna Hanley - baptized 12/12/1818, Pallasgreen Parish, sponsors: Timothy Hanley & William Ryan

- Ellen Hanley - baptized 08/03/1821, Pallasgreen Parish, sponsors: Gerald Grace & Honora Condon

- William Hanley - baptized 04/16/1824, Pallasgreen Parish, sponsors: Patrick Humphries & Mary Higgins

- Michael Hanley - baptized 10/02/1833, Pallasgreen Parish,sponsors: Timothy Hanley & Bridget Hanley

Michael Hanley is my direct relative, he left Ireland for Connecticut in the US around 1850 (give or take).  I don't know anything about any of the other siblings....  like whether they stayed, left, married names, etc.  I also can't find any information beyond Daniel and Bridget.  I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has any information that may help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Erin Hanley
