My grandmother Honora Sheehan of Lissilton Kerry born July 1883. She emigrated to USA. Her parents were John Sheehan and Mary Murphy. Brother Patrick.
Hoping for any information on burial grounds for her family and siblings.
Thank you,
Eileen Metz

Your family lived in Aghavallen civil parish to the north of Lisselton parish

The 1911 census indicates that Mary had six children but only four were living in 1911. I did find a Bridget born January 12 1873.
Below are links to the death records for John and Mary
last record John 1913 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
fifth record Mary 1915 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
I looked at two online sites. One for Lislaughtin Abbey graveyard https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2325053/lislaughtin-abbey-graveyard…; and the other for Aghavallen/Ballylongford cmetery but was unable to find headstones for your family
You may want to contact the parish once the pandemic situation improves. Possibly they may have records or suggestions https://www.dioceseofkerry.ie/parish/Ballylongford/

Hello Roger,
is it k be normal to list a widowed woman as a spinster?
My great grandmother is listed as such on the record you sent
Thank you,
Eileen
Eileen:
You are correct. Mary should have been listed as a widow. I was going by the townland listed Tullahennel.
In the 1911 census there were two Tullahennel townlands, North and South. Your Mary was in North. However, in South there was a 67 year old servant named Mary Sheehan and she died in 1915. Sorry, I will look again for your Mary.

Found the correct Mary. Fifth record. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1925/05017/4370726.pdf
