John Prendergast and Judith Darcy (Kilkenny County)

I am in search of information about my great-great-great-grandfather and grandmother, John Prendergast and Judith Darcy from 

I believe I have founf some information about John, including his February 17, 1796 date of birth (I believe his parents were Thomas Prendergast and Bridget Martin but I am not certain) and his death on February 1, 1874. I believe he was a farmer. I do not know when and where they were married.

Despite many attempts to find information about Judith Darcy I cannot find any. So any information is welcomed.

I believe John and Judith had at least four children:  Thomas born February 13, 1818, William (my great-great grandfather) born October 14, 1821, Ellen born December 18, 1823 and Patrick born March 10, 1830, each in Blessington, Thomastown, Kilkenny. They later lived at Kilmacshane, Thomastown.

Thank you.

Bill:

In addition to the four children you mention, the subscription site Roots Ireland has three other baptismal records:

Mary baptized March 26 1820

James baptized July 2 1826

Margaret baptized August 30 1832

Roots Ireland shows the surname as Pendergast for all seven records.

I did not locate the marriage record or a possible Judith Darcy baptismal record around 1800 which leads me to conclude that her parish no longer has records back to 1820 or earlier.
