Finaghty or Fenton, living at Ballyickeen from pre 1834-1874
Hello, The parish records shows that John Fenton and his wife Elizabeth McCrohan, had children named: THOMAS, PATRICK, BRIDGET and ELLEN, all baptised in Ballyferriter and living in Ballyickeen. I expect that Thomas married JOHANNA CONNOR in the church at Ventry in 1860, and tht as Thomas Fenton, his involvement in the Kerry Militia gave newspaper reports on his dealings with militia men who did not attend parades during his time as a Sergeant based at the Tralee Barracks. Thomas and Johanna's last son, THOMAS STEPHEN FENTON,born in Ireland was baptised in the Ballyferriter Parish records and lived at Ballyhickeen, before the family left for New Zealand in 1874. At least three of Thomas and Joahanna's childrens were baptised when he was serving and living at the Tralee Barracks, their names included, Elizabeth Ann, Mary Ann, Charles. I am also looking for a MICHAEL FENTON, who joined the Kerry Militia but he was mainly associated with County Cork, but his Attestation record showed that his Parish of Record was in Dunquin. The descendant of Michael Fenton, David Fitzsimmons, is my DNA relative. ancestry's DNA records show the DNA connections of my relative cousins descendants of Thomas and Johanna Fenton. From Margret Brands, nee Fenton, living in New Zealand, greatgranddaugter of Thomas and Johanna Fenton, who are buried in Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland, New Zealand, along with four of their children in nearby sites.
