I am searching family names Fedigan, Tenanity (or maybe other spellings) and Hoey. I believe there could be diferent spellings of each name actually. We have reason to believe that Peter Fedigan married Ann Tenanity in Ardee, Louth in 1842 and then immigrated to the US.
Thanks for any info you have on these two or their famlies.
Hi, A Peter Fedigan married an Anne Tenenty in 1842, November, a Peter Fedigan also married a Mary Callan in 1843 and there is a Peter Fedigan born in 1841, assume you are the 1842 marriage, the parents names are not recorded, witnesses are Jo Smith and Bridget Farrell.
This site shows some Fedigans and Fedegans in the Ardee area but the wifes surname obvious has some spelling variants which I cannot locate. The name Hoey and Hoy both sound similiar are found in the area. http://www.jbhall.freeservers.com/
You should be able to see the entry here for your self, not an easy search. https://registers.nli.ie/ Select event, year and month.
there is a Louth Genealogy FB page, private but ask to join, while there are no Fedigan queries soemone there may be aware if the name still exists around Ardee.

Thank you so very much!
Maureen, by chance I was in Ardee today and saw this public house (bar) on Market Street I think, thought you might like the photo attached.
