Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Fortunately records for Tawnagh/Riverstown RC parish go back to 1803. I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and located an 1821 Catherine Kerin baptismal record in Riverstown. See below.There was also an 1818 and 1825 Catherine Kerin baptismal records. I did not find a record for Thady (or a name close to Thady like Timothy) from 1809-1819 in Riverstown.

The 1857 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Emlaghfad civil parish shows a Thaddeus Tighe in Rathdoony More townland likely your ancestor.

For some reason, Roots Ireland did not transcribe the marriage record. I went to the actual parish register and found the entry. There were four marriages on February 7th and the Tighe/Kearins marriage was the last of the four. The register is in Latin but very legible. Let me know if you have any problems.
