James Dwyer / Ann McVey

I'm researching my Great-great- grandparents James Dwyer born abt 1850 in Kilkenny father Patrick, and Ann McVey born abt 1847 daughter of Patrick McVey and Ann Rogers not sure where born, but know that McVey's lived in Longford at one time. Believe that James and Ann were married in Kilkenny and had a child prior to immigrating in 1865 to the either Western New York state or Titusville, Pennsylvania area. Any potential information is greatly appreciated. Joe Dwyer

Joe:

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and had no luck in finding a good lead for your Dwyer/McVey connections. No Dwyer/McVey marriage anywhere in Ireland. No Dwyer baptismal record with mother with surname McVey. Did not find a Ann McVey baptismal record with mother with surname Rogers.

James Dwyer had to be born well before 1850 if he was in America and married by 1865. I did find an 1839 and 1844 James Dwyer baptismal records in Kilkenny with father Patrick. One was June 6, 1839 in Ballyhale RC church with father Patrick and mother Bridget Davis. The second record was July 3 1844 also in Ballyhale with father Patrick and mother Mary Lahy.

Sorry, I had very little success. let us know if you have more information.
