Thank for sending all that on Patricia. I have all that info & that Richard/Jenith could well be the parents as one of Mary McKeone's siblings was a Richard. And its good that you've thrown that at me! (because it kind of corroborates what I see too on rootsireland) But.... there was also a Laurence sibling (died young) and there's a Lorenzo on Griffith's Valuation in Shanacool but I can't find any Lorenzo/Laurence Power records from that time at all. Tried Stradbally & Kilrossanty. And I've tried "blankity blank" as regards the church/parish but nothing!

Dear Almira, If you'd like to send me an email - cianflaherty96@gmail.com - I might be able to put you in touch with some local people who might know more. Best wishes,
