John O'Connor born abt. 1855 in NewtonSandes Co. Kerry

Hi Guys.

I have hit a brick wall with my family tree.  My 2nd Great Grandfather, John O'Connor indicates on his New Zealand marriage certificate and his son's birth certificate that he was born in Newtonsandes in 1855, his father was John O'Connor and his mother Johanna Maloney.  I have tried all the avenues I can find but have had no luck finding his birth or any further information of his parents.

Can anyone help?

Regards - Shane

Dont know if it helps you but from what i can see from zooming the certificate his mothers name is Mahoney not Maloney.

Thanks Dathal.

I wasn't sure about Maloney, I've tried all the variations on both Mahoney and Maloney.

A fresh set of eyes, all helps.

Thanks - Shane

There is a baptismal record for a John Connor parents John Connor and Johana Mahoney in Lixnaw RC parish which is the adjoining parish to Moyvane or Newtownsandes but the date is too early?? 1838.
this family seemed to move around - some baptisms of later children.
