Kilbehenny _ OBriens

Greetings from Australia.

My great great grand parents James Prendergast (b1843) and Ellen OBrien (b1846) married 4 February 1866 in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Kilbehenny.However, it appearsthat Kilbehenny St. Joseph's was built between the years 1872 and 1874. I was wondering whether anyone knowsof the Roman Catholic Chapel where they would have married?

James and Ellen had five children, including my great grand mother, Mary Josephine Prendergast (b1876).The whole family would emigrate to Brisbane, Australia, on the sailing ship Westminster Castle, in 1878.Mary would marry Henry Kirshaw (from Lincolnshire) in Brisbane, and have 10 children, one of whom was my grandfather. He met my grandmother when they were both working on a Queensland cattle station.

I appreciate any help anyonecan offer.I hope to visit Kilbehenny one day - it looks beautiful.

Best regards,

Bruce
