WOW!! Thank you, angels, for all this wonderful information. Will follow up tonight and tomorrow.
Using Google Maps, I see that the Boolatin townland in Kilrossanty might be the closest chapel at the time of this family living in Ballykeroge. Did the chapel there have a name? Found the one in Kilnagrange, FEWS, was St. Anne's (circa 1815), but did not find a name for the chapel in Boolatin. Was it St. Brigid?
Thanks, I needed the reminder to scour those NLI records for baptisms......forgot that resource! THANK YOU AGAIN!
AND, Richard was their first born in April, 1860 so I will look for their marriage records just prior to that date.
And their other children were:
John Joseph, my g-grandfather, born 10 June 1864
James J born 1870 no date.
Patrick we think was born in 1866
Anastasia born 13 March 1872
It looks like Edmond's (1868) godmother was another Anastasia Power, which might mean Patrick had a sister with the same name as his daughter.......another mystery in the naming pattern!! THANK YOU!
AND, hello, Roger! We meet again during a cold March! My notes say March 2017 was a time of correspondence when we both anticipated snow!
I will connect with the link you provided to share information about our planned trip. We hope to connect the areas of my ancestors with some day hikes in various places because my 16 g-g-grands are from all different places (some still unknown).
This Power find is fantastic because it is another common name. Thank heaven he married Leahy in Newcastle- the pieces are being put together!
My family and I truly appreciate all of your guidance!
Ann Marie Bridget
