I am from Australia and researching my ancestors in Ireland. This is my first possible finding of ancestors in Ireland.
I think I may have found a marriage for my gg grandparents and subsequent baptisms for the couple's children. The Catholic marriage occurred in June 1845 in the Gowran parish. Find My Past has the address of the bride as Mounteen. The actual record lists both the groom and bride's names then the placename 'Mounteen' It then lists the witnesses names followed by 'Wihigan'. Are these the names of towns? If so where in Kilkenny are they? Would they actually be the places the couple and then the witnesses lived?
The baptisms include one in 1847 with the placename 'Blauchville? Town and 1850 Cleart?
I would love it anyone can tell me more about these places.
Would the marriage & baptisms have been performed in a church? If so, any idea which ones? I would love to find out more about these also.
Kind Regards,
DMR
