Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

www.irishgenealogy.ie has Co. Kerry church records. I found a marriage on April 10. 1861 in the Ballybunion RC church between a Daniel Buckley and Catherine Sullivan. I located baptismal records for three childen but not a record for Michael.

Mary February 25, 1864

Margaret August 15, 1867

Daniel February 13, 1870

They lived in the townland of Ahimma in Killehenny parish. I checked the 1901 census for Ahimma and there were no Buckleys in Ahimma.

Let me know what questions you have.

Hi T M Healy,

I found a few more siblings but no record for Michael.

Thomas November 2 1872

Ellen November 3 1874

Catherine July 8 1877.

I checked the Tithe Applotments of 1827 and found the only land owner in the townland of Aghimma was a Thomas Lynch.

I also checked Griffith's Valuation of 1850s and found a Margaret Buckley leasing a house and around an acre of land from Thomas Lynch.

This is a link to a map of the area around that time.

In the 1901 Census I found the Dennihan family living in Ahimma. Daniel and Catherine's daughter Margaret married Michael Dennihan.

The family were still there by the time of the 1911 census.

This family is the only direct link I could find to your ancestors.

Hope this helps.
