  • Thank you Patricia.

    Yes, Daniel and Anne Kilgannon Dunleavy were my Grt. Grt. Grt. Grandparents.

    I am able to locate the Dunleavy's, Kilgannon's, Davey's and Rock families that I am connected to.

    It's Denis McCoy that is the brick wall...

    I can not locate where he was born, or his parents names.  I find no marriage information regarding Denis and Honora Dunleavy McCoy.

    I have 1 baptismal record for their son, Andrew, born in Rathglass, Templeboy in 1858 and I have Denis McCoy's civil death certificate from Rathglass, Templeboy 12 February 1866.

    I do not know where Denis is buried.  I've been to Templeboy, located the house that the family lived in while working as tenant farmers and I've walked through most of the cemeteries.

    So far, no luck.

    Thank you for your help :)

  • Hi Karen,

    Any update on your research? I’m curious did Honora have any siblings? I’m from Rathglass and my great great grandmother was Dunleavy. I’m also curious where the family lived in Rathglass as you mentioned you located the house?

    Thanks,

    Jill
