Michael Cunningham and Margaret Halpenny of Ardee 1830s to CN,USA

LouthArdee (Louth)

Spent some time in Dublin and found a baptism for one of Michael and Margaret's children. He was not known to me except as an unnamed child, and might be buried in the area. Spent some time walking around Ardee, but did no research. Michael was born about 1833 and Margaret about 1837. Left for Derby, CN about 1865-1868. John was born/baptised 3 Mar 1865, and Barney about 1860 in Ardee. Another child was also possibly born there. Michael's son Michael was born about 1868 in Derby, CN. James in 1871 and Mary in 1873. John did not survive to be seen in the 1870 Census for Michael and family.
