My husband's 2nd Great Grandmother Ellen Heffernan was born/baptised in Kilbehenny on 6th May, 1830. According to her death certificate (in Australia) in 1902, her parents were Michael Heffernan and Ellen Condon. Her husband was Michael Barry from either Co Tipperary or Co Cork. They married in Kilbehenny in c1881. Would love to know if there are any descendents of Michael and Ellen still in Kilbehenny.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Michael and Ellen married in 1854 not in 1881. See record below. The link below should take you to the Kilbeheny parish register. If it does not work , you can also view the record here http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0269 Looks like Michael was from Galbally in Co. Limerick.Did Michael and Ellen and all their children go to Australia? I could only find one person named Barry in the Kilbeheny area in the 1901 census.

Hello Roger, thank you for such a quick reply. Yes, the Barry family came to Australia and settled in country Victoria. I will send a more detailed reply when I have the time to sort through the Parish Register. I just want to acknowledge how much help you have given to me

My ancestor Michael Walsh was baptized
Sept 11, 1825 and his sponsors were Michael Walsh & Ellen Heffernan. Michael’s mother was Margaret Heffernan. Margaret was married to Patrick Walsh. They came to the US between 1845-1850 I think.
not sure if Ellen & Margaret Heffernan Walsh were sisters ?
