Looking for Ancestors

I am looking for Sweeney and Courtney families living in Glenbeigh, Co Kerry. My mother was 1 of 6 children from Upper Kilduve. Her father was Humphrey Courtney and mother Hannah Sweeney. Paddy Courtney, mum’s brother was well known in the area. Batt and Pat lived up on the farm, until Pat moved down to the village. All other children moved to Bristol.  I am over shortly and would be happy to know if there are living relatives still in the area.  Thank you

Online birth records stop in 1924 so possibly a child was born after 1924.
