Saunders and Long Families Kilkenny Black Mill
KilkennySt Canice (Kilkenny)
Curious to confirm and learn more about my family from the Kilkenny area and parishes. Quick Run Down Great Grandfather was Walter Patrick Saunders born Kilkenny 1852 to Walter Saunders and Ellen Purcell. He left for the USA around 1870 and settled and died in Tyler, Texas, USA in 1914. His sister Bridget Saunders married a John Long and from what I can tell stayed in the area but many of their children left and settled in Boston Area. From what I can gather the elder Walter Saunders was born around 1816 in Kilkenny and his parents are most likely David Saunders (died 1818) and Catherine Kealy Birth and death unknown but may have lived with other children later in life. Any more information or confirmation greatly appreciated.
