Meagher/Maher of Knigh or Ballyanny

[mgtken]

I am researching my Greatgrandmothers family. I believe she was from Monsea parish and from the Knigh or Ballyanny ares. Her name was Mary Meagher. She was born circa 1830. Marys father may have been John and I have located a John and William who may have been brothers. The names James and Stephen Meagher also appear in baptismal certs for her children and Francis Maher as informant  on her husbands death record.
Is anyone else researching these names?

I have since discovered that my great grandmother Mary Meagher may have lived at Lodge or Puckane near Nenagh prior to her marriage to James Meagher (perhaps a relative!) in 1855. After marriage they lived in Monsea, beside Carrig church. Mary was a sister of James Meagher of Ballyanny who was a prosperous farmer. He lived at Ballyanny House from the mid to late 1800's. His wife was Kate, however as I haven't located a marriage record have no other info about Kate. James is buried at Kilmore cemetery near Silvermines.
I believe that some Meagher relatives may have emigrated to the US or Australia during the 1800's, including some of Mary's daughters of whom we cannot locate. If some of this information rings a bell for anyone I would welcome some contact.
