Gender
Male

Peter Coffey married Honnora or Hannora Doyle in 1839 in Templenoe/Dourrus. I believe he was a gardener for Dourrus Castle? (I'm not near my research so I can't confirm that right now) They had approximately 6 known children. As far as I know, they sent two of their sons, Jeremiah H.and Timothy to USA as 11 and 7 yr.old boys I believe in 1960. There is mystery around it as there is a Newburyport Massachusetts connection somehow but they ended up in Hartford CT as young men.(I can't trace them until in Hartford and married) I'd love to know who they came to US with and where they stayed. Also as far as I know Peter and Hanora remained in Co. Kerry with the other siblings. There was maybe a Catherine who ended up in Rhode Island and married a Porter but am not sure...her parents are named Peter and Hanora Coffey, though. I would love to find any information about where Peter and Hanora ended up and the rest of the siblings as well....a John, Michael, Peter, Catherine at least. Any help? And where might they be buried or information on deaths? Thanks for any information! Betsy
