I am trying to trace the marriage of my great grandmother's parents. Michael Curran and Julia Curran. Julia's maiden name was Knowd. They had a daughter and possibly other children but Anne/Annie was born on 22 September 1865 in Doneany. I am trying to trace their marriage and if possible anything else about them. Can you help please? I think they may have married between the years of 1855 and 1863.
Regards
Kathryn Bryant

Dearest Celtic Damsel,
I need some help in Stradbally and Luggacurren, to locate relatives of my ancestors who stayed home when my forebearer struck-out to make a new life in North America. What I have done on my own so far: I have traced the family lineage back to John and Mary (Mahoney) Kilbride born 1778 and 1788 in Stadbally. They left for Prince Edward Island in 1823 with five children. My wifer and I made a quick run through Stradbally and Luggacurren on our trip to Ireland in May 2005. I talked with Joseph Kilbride the architech on the phone and he gave me his E-mail address, but I have been unable to connect with him that way, and I also have been been unable to E-mail Father Dunne the parish priest in Luggacurren. I don't know if my server doesn't allow US-Ireland connections or what.
Anyway I was in the Clopook Cemetery and found the gravestone for Thomas and Maria(Ryan) Kilbride, who I have gathered were the parents for MP Denis Kilbride 1848-1924. I could not determine the dates off the stone for Thomas and Maria's dates and due to the rain in May We were unable to do a rubbing to get more from the surface.
The help I need are: 1. dates for Thomas and Maria and any source for further information on their family lines.
2. a mailing address for Father Dunne of the Catholic church in Luggacurren
3. a mailing address for Joseph Kilbride the architech (perhaps in Stradbally or Portlaois)
4. any family information for direct relatives of John Kilbride and Mary Mahoney
in reading several of the posts in your site I see several Callaghans. I also find several of them in marriages to my ancestors in PEI in the 1800's. I guess they both set off for greener pastures in the new world. Perhaps they sailed together on the same ship, or one inspired the other to make the same journey later, or they lived close by and formed a small community. It would be interesting to discover the whole story.
Thank you so much for any help.

Hello: can you locate an old (19th century) cemetery in the Dollardstown-Nicholastown area about 2 miles southeast of Athy? Somewhere along the road between Athy and Kilkea/Casteldermont. A Catholic chapel was located near the cemetery in the mid 1800's. We are interested if a Mary Ann Grace is buried there. She was born 1844 and would have been under 18 years of age when she died. The rest of her family (parents and 6 brothers) emigrated to the US in 1860-1862. Thansk you for any help you can provide. I am writing a history of our Grace ancestors.

HI there, the churches here in the town hold their records but they will not search for you there and then, if you send a request before you come and let them know when you will be here you could collect any results.
The church of St Michaels is the Catholic church but there is a Church of Ireland church as well. Alternatively the library in Newbridge holds all of the records for a more instant and do it yourself result and they are extremely helpful.
The graveyard records are also held here in the town at the town council offices and you can call in there and look through them yourself if you have any idea of timeline it makes it easier obviusly.
Hope this helps if you need addresses or anything give me a shout, regards Damsel

Hallo there Dantracer, there is a church in Kilkea proper which is the only place along that road as far as I am aware that has a graveyard, perhaps this is the one you seek, its a very pretty little village I dont know the name of the church but I will take a drive over there today if you can let me know you have not ruled it out as the one you are looking for , regards Bernadette

Hi, if you write to the registrar at St Micheals Church she will have a look through the record for your baptisms, it would be a very easy process as you have the dates of birth, alternatly if you can make it to the library in Newbridge you could do a search yourself hope this helps if you think any of them are buried in St Michaels I could have a look for graves for you, regards Damsel

Hi Katryn, Doneany is close to Kildangan Village and I think possibly this is where they married as there is a RC Church there and also a graveyard, I dont know the name but I am possibly out today to look for info for another rootschatter and will have a look for you and give you the addy if you can le me know that you havnt ruled this church out already as soon as possible.
If you havent Im sure they will do a search for you if you write to them and again alternatly Newbridge Library if you can make it there hold all records
thought you might find this link below interesting also regards Damsel

Thanks Bernadette. Yes, please check out that cemetery near Kilkea. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Mary Ann Grace's mother, originally a Casey, was from the Lillkea area!!. Dantracer PS: We live in the US, and we hope to get to Ireland for our third visit, but that has to wait until 2010. I very much apppreciate your help in the meantime.

@ Dantracer & Celtic Damsel
Hi All, I've only just stumbled across this thread. There is an old cemetery in Nicholastown, just off the main road on the way to Kilkea from Athy. It is located on the right-hand side of the road, just past the bad right-hand bend at Nicholastown. Just before Coyle's farm you will see a laneway to it. It is still used occasionally, I attended a funeral ther a few years ago.
Hope this helps
