My great great grandmother was Eliza/Lizzie Maher believed to be from Drom Parish. I don't know anything about her parents or siblings....a brick wall.
she married 21 Feb 1838 Drom and Inch Parish, John Quinane widower. 6 children born between 1839 and 1854 only the child in 1839 had a Maher sponsor James Maher. Eliza Quinane died in 1889 aged 80
Would love to find siblings

Hi Myriam,
Attached record of a Darby Quinnane in County Tipperary 1842. Could this record relate to your family - John Quinnane and Elizabeth Maher?
While the surname "Quinnane is rare the surname "Maher" is fairly conmon.

Myriam,
Church Record attached.
The record shows John as "Genane".
Witnesses: Simon Kennedy and Mary Connolly.
It will require identifying the location of the Witnesses to find the home address of Elizabeth.

Myriam,
Attached death record for an Elizabeth Kinane of Gurtnahalla (Gortnahalla) Civil parish of Upperchurch. Death notified by her son John Kinane.
The family appear to have various spellings of their surname.
The 1901 Irish census has a Mary Maher, a Widow, in the townland of Gortnahalla.
There is a Simon Kennedy recorded in 1837 and 1839 in North Tipperary.
The 1901 census records many families named Kinane and Kennedy in Gortnahalla - see www.nationalarchives.ie/census.
Regards,
Further Information - Maher - Tithe Records for the Caholic parishes of Drom and Inch in the 1820's.
Somebody reading your post may be abe to identify Elizabeth's family! I see baptismal records are from 1827.
