Title: Beresford and Kirwan Dungarvan and Kilrossanty
Post by: Paul Peter on Sunday 30 October 16 20:07 GMT (UK)
My great great grandmother was Alice Beresford who married Pierce Kirwan from Kilrossanty. Her brother Nicholas married Johanna, Pierce's sister. On Johanna's grave dated 1876, it says it was erected by her husband Nicholas of Castlequarter Dungarvan. I can't find any record of Alice's or Nicholas' marriage certs or their birth certs. Any one know this family ? Paul

Alice's eldest son was born in 1858 and Nicholas's eldest son was a born in 1856. Sorry but am guessing they would have been in their early 20s at that stage - big assumption I know
