Cantwell/Kendrick

Dear Margaret: 

Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome.  I note the marriage record that you refer to and to the names of the witnesses which I read as: Tobias Butler and Michael Power.  I don't see where there are any references to online graveyard transcriptions for the several graveyards in the area.  I will make enquiries for you.  The parish registers are not indexed on the National Library of Ireland website, so that you will need to go through the Boherlahan register to find the children of this couple.  Hopefully, there will be a name of a townland associated with this family as this will assist you with tracing any cousins forward in your research.  Please let me know if I can do anything further for you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

All the best, 

Jane

Thanks Jane! What did you mean by Boherlahan registers? And are you saying they lived in a town other than Boherlahan? Best Margaret

What I meant were the parish registers which are available online.  They are on the NLI (National Library of Ireland) website.  The ink is:  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0247    As to your query where they lived, having the name of a townland is very helpful as that will narrow down families as well as allowing further research with land records, census information, etc. 

All the best, 

Jane

Ok thanks! I did find a possible baptism for Mary Kendrick (1810) sister of my Margaret to William Kendrick and Julian Hartigan in Ardmayle. Then Mary Kendrick and husband Thomas Butler had children in Thurlesbeg. So I guess those are the townlands. Is anyone on this list from those towns do you know? Thanks Margaret

MBradley,

      I notice your interest in Kendrick family.  My gg grandfather Patrick Kendrick was married 1 Dec 1832 in Boherlahan, Tipperary to Joanna Catherine Lyons.  All their children were born in the neighboring parish of Killenaule.  They immigrated to the US in 1852 first to Warren RI and then to Rehoboth, MA. I wonder if our families are connected. Our records also show "Condrick".

Hi - Imissed this post 3 years ago, but just got back to the Kendrick family. AI says Patrick was almost certainly a brother or possibly a cousin of my Margaret (and her sister Mary). In the Tithe - there are a William and Patrick in that region, and from Mary's baptism, it seems William was her father. He could have had a brother Patrick ( whose son was your Patrick), or Patrick could have been a son of William's old enough to be farming on his own.
