Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here; I'm looking for information on the Hennessy (Henesey, Hennessey) family from Tonafora, Dunmanway, County Cork, my 2x great grandfather Patrick was born there in March 1833 (parents were Francis Henesey and Catherine Galivan-) he emigrated to America sometime after 1872 and after his wife (Johannah Riordan of Bantry) died in 1901 in Springfield, Massachusetts he returned to Dunmanway where he died in 1910, his brother James (1827-1865) emigrated to Canada. I know of 3 other siblings; Daniel (B. 1821), Honora (B. 1823), and Ellen (B.1830), I have no idea if they remained in Ireland or followed their brother to Canada or the United States. I have been able to find extensive lines for Patrick and James, but I'm stuck on Daniel, Honora, and Ellen; all I have are baptismal records. I'm hoping someone will read this and point me in the right direction, I've used Irish Geaology, and the NLI to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Tom Hennessy
