Trip to Kilkenny
Hi, I will be traveling to Ireland for a short trip, arriving Aug 16 and leaving Aug 20. My nephew and I will be staying in Kilkenny city (16-18th). Planning on traveling up to Clogh to visit St Patrick's church and graveyard. I have a connection with a Paddy Purcell, who lives by the church and he supposedly has a transcription of all the graves. Eleanor Foley, James Foley and Catherine Foley Kelly all lived near each other AND St Patrick's church in 1849, during Griffith's Valuation. All three baptized children at the same parish between 1812 and 1830, via NLI parish registers. I believe, Eleanor's husband (John Foley) was most likely a sibling or first cousin to James and Catherine.
While in Kilkenny city, I'd like to explore the possibility that John Foley (see attachment) was estranged from Eleanor and lived there in 1833 and also had a shop there AND possibly died there. Any suggestions on where I might look for that information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Pat Foley
