My great-grandparents were John J DeCourcey, born in 1854 in County Cork and Catherine (or Katherine) Hennessy,, born in 1856 in either Cork or Limerick They were in Mitchelstown in 1873. His father's name was John DeCourcey (or DeCourcy) Her father's name was also John. The witnesses look like Michael Hennessy and Julia Hennessy. He came to Chicago in 1873 and she came in 1876. I do not know anything about them in Ireland.
