Hi,
I am looking for information on my 4x Great-Grandfather, Denis Guidera. He married Mary Cahill in he 1830s in Aghaboe, Laois. I am hoping to find out as much as possible about him. I know he had a son called Thomas who married Catherine Davin.
Thank you!
From RootsIreland, here is a transcription of Denis's marriage record:

"Grangemore" seems to apply to the couple, not just Denis as in the transcription..
Denis and Mary’s child Mary’s baptismal record notes that they lived in Bushfield townland, which borders Grangemore townland.
