Michael fO'Rourke

KilkennyKilmacow (Kilkenny)

My 3rd great grandfather, Michael O'Rourke (born ca 1805), was married to Bridget Connelly (born ca 1815) on 31 Jan 1844 in the Kilmacow Parish of Kilkenny(record found through rootsireland). I'd like to locate the names of Michael and Bridget's parents. I'd also like to find more information onthe witnesses, who were listed as Martin Foley and (illegible) Cleary.

Paul: I looked at the 1828 Tithe Applotment listings for Kilmacow parish. There were no Rourkes or O'Rourkes. There was a William Connolly in Dangen (Dangan is the correct spelling) townland. Possibly he is connected to Bridget. I'm wondering if the O'Rourkes came from outside the parish. www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie I looked at Roots and the baptismal records for Kilmacow parish start in 1836 which is too late for your needs.
