Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in Church records for information on Judith and Dennis? Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the irishtimes. Here they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Nenagh parish follow this link:
You could also try writing to the parish priest for possible assistance.
For Church of Ireland records check http://www.ireland.anglican.org/index.php?do=information&id=63
You could also try searching for Dennis in the Tithe Applotment Books. This is a land record that was compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland. You can check these here:

You should also try looking into their emigration as generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. For information in immigration records in Canda check the National Library and Archives at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
I gave you a list of useful websites in my response to one of your earlier messages, i'll list them here again for you:

Denis and Julia are my 3rd great grandparents. My 2nd great grandmother is their daughter Catherine Tierney Goodall 1830-1917.
