Pam,

I looked for the above names in the RootsIreland database, with no findings. Is it possible that your ancestors were Quakers? A William Edmonson was an early Quaker in Ireland and settled for a while in Cavan. Eventually he went to Laois. 

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Pam,  

There is a parish named Killan, which covers Bailieborough & Shercock.  I don't know if you have searched all the free records but do look at the records available at National Archives, (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/) look at the various spellings of Wauhope, & you will find them in Killinkere, which is a different parish to Killann. On irishgenealogy.ie there is this marriage: 

Name Joshua Wauhop Age of full age Address Tumafall in the Parish of Knockbride Occupation Farmer Civil Status Single Father's Forename His father is dead Father's Surname his name unknown Father's Profession Farmer Signature Joshua Wauhop

Party 2 Name Matilda Rusk Age Minor of 18 years Address Drumlune Occupation Maid Civil Status Single Father's Forename John Father's Surname Rusk Father's Profession Farmer Signature Matilda Wauhop alias Rusk Marriage Information

Date of Event 16 September 1845 Marriage Solemnised At The Presbyterian Meeting House, Parish of Shircock, Presbytery of Bailieboro Solemnised According To the Form and Discipline of the Presbyterian Church Solemniser Randal McColluny

Witness 1 John Johnston Witness 2 John Wauhop Other Information Group Registration ID1660904 Date of Registration16/09/1845  

I found a marriage also for Robt Byers and Ellen Edmonston on 21 February 1873  

I hope this helps you.
