HI! I am looking for information on my 3xGG Hugh Canning and Ellen Dowling. I estimate their birth year is around 1810. They had a Thomas1832-1895 (my 2xs GG) Thomas was baptized at St. Canice's, Ossory, Kilkenny City in 1832. Can you locate any more information on Hugh, Ellen or Thomas?or had any other children? Thank you! Maureen

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find any other baptismal records for siblings to Thomas. I did not find a baptismal record for Hugh Canning but did locate a possible lead for Ellen Dowling. See below. Here is a link to the parish register https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0990 You may want to scan for other possible records.

Thank you, Roger! Sorry for my delayed reply. Hope you are doing well with this Corona VIsus Scare that's going around!
That is great info on Ellen! Are you able to identify death dates for Hugh and Ellen?
Also, I have a pretty strong DNA match through a descendant of James Canning born in Ireland in 1830. I was hoping to find he was another son of Hugh and Ellen. But maybe James is the son of a brother of Hugh Canning? Can you see if you can locate a birth certificate for James Canning in 1830 (I am assuming it would be in Kilkenny County too.
Thank you!

Hi Maureen!
No baptismal records for James Canning in Kilkenny city. Civil death records started in 1864 and I searched but did not find any Hugh or Ellen Canning records.
