Kennedys of Ballyloundash

LimerickHospital (Limerick)

Hi i am researching my family tree and wondering if there is still any of my distant relations in Herbertstown, info i have is

Jerimah Kennedy was Married to Catherine Maher they rented land in Ballyloundash in 1850's from Caherine Hayes. It is believed they came from Tipperary side. i found the marriage of Jerimah Kennedy and Catherine Maher in Cloughjordan in 1846.

There are two males i found in Herberststown records.

James Kennedy born 26 dec 1846 - no further records

Thomas Kennedy born 16 Apr 1848 he later married Eliza Lynch and they were married in Effin in 1877.

Would anyone have any connection to these name. please contact me. thanks.

Hi Ann Marie

If you (or someone you could appoint like a researcher) could get to the Valuation Office in Dublin you could have a look at the Revision Books for Ballyloundash and they will show how things have progressed from the Griffith's Valuation. You can see more HERE about the process.

There doesn't seem to be any Kennedy family listed in the townland in 1901 so between these two sources you might get an idea as to when they left the area or perhaps daughters remained but married.

Best wishes
