Looking for news of possible Delahanty or Byrnes relatives living in Cloghasty, Graige, Thomastown, Kilkenny.Byrnes, James (May 1842 Dublin Ireland) and Mary Delahunty Byrnes (baptized 14 Nov

James Byrnes, (May 1842 Dublin Ireland) and Mary Delahunty Byrnes (baptized 14 Nov 1843)    

are the parents of Catherine Byrnes Farrell, my great grandmother, born 1865 in Cloghasty, Graigue, Kilkenny.  She emigrated to America about 1882 and died 1939 in Brooklyn, New York City.  I created an Ancestor page for Catherine on Ireland X0 with more information. I know that there are many Delahantys that stayed in Ireland, and some that settled in Cleveland, Ohio. The parents of Mary Delahunty Byrnes are Edward Delahunty (1801-1867) and Mary Phelan (1805-1867), also from the townland of Cloghasty.                                                                                                 

My mother's cousin Eleanor, is 93 and lives in New York. She helps me with our family history. We've been able to find information on ancestors, but recently she asked me if there were any relatives still living in that townland or nearby. There must be, so I told her I would check on it. Does the townland of Cloghastia still exist? Thanks for having a look.
