Thank you Elaine!

I actually have the records from Roots Ireland for James and Mary's marriage Feb. 17, 1828, as well as my ggrandmother Mary's Baptism.  She was Baptized March 22, 1840.  It had an address on the record of Ballinavaloona.  In the USA they spelled their last name Ducey, and on the Irish records I have found it spelled Doosey, Doosy, and even Deucy. 

I am hoping to figure out what church they would have used there, and maybe even cemeteries in that area so I can try and locate Mary (nee Power).  James Ducey was in Cincinnati, we have his cemetery info but no Mary Power  in the US so we think she might have died in Ireland and never made it to the USA.

I have seen that Power(s) is very common there, and there were also Powers in Cincinnati but we aren't sure if any were related. 

From other Baptismal records we have found the name Carrigbarron listed as an address.  Am thinking all these places are in the same general area?

Thanks for responding, it is exciting to get replies!
