CODY/RAFTER

KilkennyKilmanagh (Kilkenny)

My ancestor Martin Cody was convicted of sheeping stealing and sentenced to transportation, arriving in Australia in 1829. His wife Ellen (Eliza/Elizabeth) then known as Alice in Australia, and  their daughter Mary were brought to the colony as family of a deserving convict, arriving in 1839.

Mary's baptism record shows her address as Graigue, parish Ballycallan-Kilmanagh. (IFHF website)

On the application form for convicts' families, Ellen's location is Messrs B & Wm Hatford, Shortles Graig. (Shortley Craig). and she is known to Rev H Caulfield, Kelmannan Glebe. On the GenUki website is states there are two townlands Graigue (Hartford) and Graigue (Hayden) and a glebe-house of Rev Hans Caulfield.

Is it possible to let me the exact location of the above named townlands? I will be in Ireland at the end of September with a possible date of either the 30th Sept/1st Oct in Kilmanagh.

Thank you for your attention, Suzanne Voytas

Hopefully you have access to Google Maps. Enter Kilmanagh Kilkenny. When you get the map look south and you will see Graigue (Hartford) and a little bit to the west of Graigue (Hartford) you will see Graigue (Hayden). The Only Glebe I see is Banse Glebe to the northwest of Kilmanagh.
