Patrick Cleary and Mary Ruane from Kilbeacanty
My great grandmother Bridget Cleary was born 4 Feb 1863 in Kilbeacanty. Bridget migrated to Australia in the 1880s and married Martin Kennedy in Brisbane Qld 1893 and died in Brisbane Qld 17 June 1904.
I have been unsuccesful to date in locating the birth, marriage and death details for her parents Patrick Cleary and Mary Ruane, as well as trace the location of some of her siblings. Known details of the family are outlined below. I would be very appreciative for any information that may help me uncover this mystery.

Judy
