Searching for information on James Simeon Kenny, born 1844 in Wexford, please. Also his father, Thomas Patrick Kenny, b 1818 Davidstown, Wexford, and his wife Ellen Hogan, b 1821 in Bree, Wexford. All emigrated to Sydney in 1854.
Screen shot from my tree attached.
Many thanks for any interest and help.

Hello again!
Not many of the Co. Wexford RC parishes are available on Roots Ireland. The two parishes of interest for you- Bree and Davidstown are not included. Below are links to the parish registers which may provide information. Unfortunately the legibility of some of these old registers are not the best. The Davidstown records start in 1806 and Bree in 1837.
I also found the links for the 1853 Griffiths Valuation head of household listings for Clonmore and Rossdroit parishes. There is a Thomas Kenny listed in Clonmore parish (Ballybuckley townland).

That reference you found to Ballybuckley matches up with Thomas Kenny's marriage. The entry in the register for Ferns Bree 16 Feb 1841 says the witnesses came from Ballybuckley. Bingo! Sounds like a match. Fascinating. Regards, Greg
