Possible parents

Killorglin (Kerry)

My 2g grandfather was Cornelius Brennan, born 18 Sep 1832, Count Kerry.  A theory I am exploring now is that his parents may have been Michael Brennan and Mary Julian Keogh.  They were married 11 Apr 1825 in Naas, Kildare, Ireland and I believe they had six children: Mary (b.22 Sep 1826); John (b.1 Feb 1827); Thomas (b. 22 Apr 1828); Catherine (b. 1 Dec 1830); Cornelius (b.18 Sep 1832) and Anne (b.22 Sep 1833).  I found their wedding in Ireland, Select Catholic Marriage Register, 1778-1942.  A couple of the kids were found in Ireland, Select Catholic Birth and Baptism Registers, 1763-1917.  It appears the boys all came to America but can't find any information on the girls.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I believe you posted before and I located the marriage record in Naas and the baptismal records for Mary and Catherine also in Naas.

What was the date of your original message. We need to post the message here for background for other volunteers.

I don't know the actual date it was within the last couple of weeks.  For some reason it was showing twice and when I deleted one of the copies, they both disappeared.

As I recall, I was not able to find Cornelius or any of the other children in Co. Kerry church records.

Thanks!  I found a few of them in the Ireland, Select Catholic Births and Baptism Registers, 1763-1917.  I went back as I thought that is where I found six kids for them but now could only find two and I couldn't access the register like I did before, very weird.  Mary was listed but the residence was not given.  In the Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915, Anne, their last child is listed and the town looks like it is spelled Sallins but not sure.  It is hard to do much looking as there doesn't seem to be much available here in the U.S. to look at as the resources are scarce.
