Wife and I are visiting from Ausatralia for the first time in August. My ancestors include:
*Patrick James Kenny, d Ferns Wexford 1863
James Simeon Kenney, b 1844, Ferns, Bree, Wexford. Emigrated 1853.
Ellen Hogan, b 1821, Wexford. Emigrated 1853
Thomas Patrick Kenny, b 1818 Davidstown, Wexford. Emigrated 1853.
Doc:
On the subscription site FindMyPast.ie I located three baptismal records for children of Thomas Kenney and Ellen Hogan. The RC parish was Bree in central Co. Wexford https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0582 ; The Diocese was Ferns. The three records were:
Mary baptized January 29 1842
Patrick baptized March 9 1847 (likely died young)
Patrick baptized April 13 1849
I did not locate a record for James but you may want to scan the Bree parish register (link above).
Thomas Kenney married Ellen Hogan in Bree on February 16 1841. Witnesses John French and Ellen Leary or Leavy. They lived in Ballybuckley townland in Clonmore civil parish.
Civil registration of deaths in Ireland started in 1864 so if Patrick died in 1863 no civil record would be available and no church records are available in Bree or the parish of Ferns.

Hi, again, Roger. MAny thanks for confirming these dates. I did have most of the information this time aropund. I was hoping to get back a little further. It seems as though FindMyPast is better than Ancestry for UK and Irish records. Might need a re-think on subscription. Kind regards, Greg.
