Eliza Kenny
Looking for any information on Eliza Kenny 1857-1858. I do believe Roscommon. Father's name Martin Kenny. She was married to a Peter Gormley, I do have that paper. I can't read the townland or parish on it.
Thank you

Ballyleague is in the Elphin Diocese. Per CoPilot-
No direct 1800s Catholic parish records for Ballyleague are listed online, but the area may have been part of another parish whose registers are held by the NLI

Alice:
The RC parish for the civil parish of Kilbride is also Kilbride (Fourmilehouse). Unfortunately, there are no baptismal records for that parish from September of 1849 through April 1868 which would cover when Eliza was born.

To see Martin Kenny's listing in Tully townland in Griffith's Valuation of Roscommon in 1858, click here: https://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/z/zoomifyDynamicViewer.php?file=248102&path=./pix/248/&rs=8&showpage=1&mysession=3047645594968&width=&height=
You can see a map on that website showing the location of the Kenny residence.

Per the Griffith Valuation, there was also a Patrick Kenny leasing land in Tully at that time. Maybe a relative??

I did not find a death record for Elizabeth but assume she died between 1895 and 1901.

There is a tree on Ancestry with a Michael Kenny of Tully, Kilbride, father's name Martin. The tree identifies Bridget Fallon as mother. Eliizabeth's oldest daughter was Brigid. Not sure if last name of mother is Fallon but Brigid seems to work.
Maybe mother's death record.
