Hi Sue,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in Church records for information?Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the irishtimes where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes.For Kanturk Roman Catholic parish follow this link:

For Church of Ireland records check: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
You could check in the land records also. There are two:

and Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
You could also check the 1901 and 1911 census records for anyone that may have remained in Ireland. You can search these online here:
