Looking for help locating GGG Grandparents in Kilgarvan,Kerry area
Hello. I have reached some dead ends in my search for my Kerry roots. My Great x 3 grandparents were Jeremiah O'Connor/Connor and Hanorah, whose last name has been debated and speculated upon. It may be Malvey, Mealey or possibly Healy (and variant spellings thereof). I have no firm dates of birth for either, although Hanorah died in Massachusetts in 1890 at age 86, which would equate to an approximate birth year of 1804. Kilgarvan baptism records indicate their children were Daniel (1827), John (1830) Timothy (1832) and Ellen (1836), and they may have lived/farmed in the Shandrum townland south of Kilgarvan town. It appears Hanorah, John (my GG grandfather) and Daniel emigrated to the US, probably around 1850 (still trying to sort out all the details), but not sure about the rest.
My question is, can you help me find Hanorah's family locally(Kirlarvan area)? I find no indication of the names Malvey or Mealy, however there are several Healys in the old Kilgarvan burial ground. Her parents MAY have been named William and Mary, based on some speculative information by now long dead relatives' records.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards, Bob O'Connor
