Jeremiah MacGillicuddy(McGill) of Garahadoo
m. Sarah Leslie (Lestu)  15 Feb 1825 Killorglin, Kerry Ireland
Witness 1 ELIZABETH DE COURCY Witness 2 THOMAS GREADY

I have a tree including their children down, but no details of Jeremiah's or Sarah's origins.
Lord Viscount Morpeth's Testimonial Roll, 1841 includes James Mcgillicuddy, John McGillicuddy, Cornelius McGillycuddy, Jereh McGillycuddy
and this could refer to sons and the father.
Ancestry has Jerh McGillicuddy, Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900 but I prefer not to join.

The family left Kerry for USA in 1848 - most ended in Boston or New York but again I have not found the Parents.
Any help appreciated.

Many thanks Anneclare! You have also given me an estimate of birth year which fits. There have been many others with the same names but unrealistic birth years.
