It will be difficult to go back earlier for William Cunningham/Conyngham and Catherine Comber/Comer because their two RC parishes (Glennamaddy and Dunmore) have records starting either 1838 (Glennamaddy) or 1833 (Dunmore). I was able to find the three baptismal records in Dunmore RC parish. The family moved around in Dunmore civil parish. I did find a good lead for a death record for Catherine.and information for her son John.
