My ancestors in Kildare and Kerry

KerryAghavallen (Kerry)

Looking for information re: Gr Grandfather Patrick F Nolan,married Mary Murphy Sept 15, 1861,,imigrated to USA..In Oct 1861...probably lived in or near Newtown,Kill parish,County Kildare.

   Also searching  for details in northern Co.Kerry, re:Michael Cox,my Gr,Gr GrandFather who married Margaret Walsh in 1848,and lived in Astee East,Aghavellen where two children Maria in 1849,and Micheal in 1850 were born to them before they immigrated to the USA in May of 1850..

  I am going to be traveling in Ireland Oct 3 thru 15th of this year and would love to see the places my people lived their early lives...Thank You,Kay J Yarns

I looked at the 1852 Griffiths Valuation survey head of household listing for Kill parish. There was a John Nolan listed plus five Nowlan records. Not sure if any of these are related to Patrick  but they are potential leads. The Griffiths survey for Aghavallen was also in 1852. There was a Michael Sr. and Jr. and a Robert Sr. and Jr. listed for Astee East. You mentioned that your Michael left in May 1850 so likely he is not the Michael Jr. listed. I also checked the 1901 census for Astee East and there was a Robert Cox and family living in the townland at that time.
