Ireland / Re: Who are Peter's Parents?

With regard to my earlier post, you may want to look for K*rnan in Dunboyne around the relevant time period.
Some are sponsors, others are a spouse.
As you say, they may have crossed from the next parish or they may be unrelated. However, they were around Dunboyne at the same time as Peter.

Dunboyne deaths register included abode. Began 1787. Examples picked out at random:
June 1790 Hugh Kiernan, Cornerstown? Comerstown?
April 1865 Mrs Bartle Kiernan, Prettanan?
I noticed a Peter Hughes died 1864. Heywood found a marriage of a Peter Hughes to a Neil.
Handwriting was neat in 1820s but degenerated to a scrawl by 1840s. Forenames of many married women and widows were omitted.

I couldn't match a civil death registration to Mrs Kiernan in 1865. Was hampered by not knowing her forename and by death registrations in 1865 not yet being visible on Irish Genealogy. ie. I'm not sure which registration district covered the parish. Some registration districts in the area crossed county borders.

Another parish adjacent to Dunboyne is Maynooth.
Maynooth R.C. parish, County Kildare

Census returns we found for Bartle Kernan, Peter's son, stated that he was born in County Kildare. (On the thread about Bartle Kernan.)


We had this record for Bartle earlier on one of the threads

Kilcloon, Batterstown and Kilcock (adjacent to Dunboyne)

Yes. I wonder if the family lived or moved around near the border of Kilcloon and Dunboyne parishes and near the border with County Kildare, perhaps where Dunboyne, Kilcloon and Maynooth R.C. parishes meet. A pointy bit of Co. Kildare and Maynooth R.C. parish sticks out between Dunboyne and Kilcloon R.C. parishes. Residence wasn't mentioned in the church registers.

Welcome to RootsChat, Trebla079.

Hi Everyone, please excuse me I am new to the Chat, but have been interested in reading it on the net. I am a Barlow born on the Tench 1947, have been at sea for some years so out of the loop. My mother was a Mellor, we lived in Tamworth and ran the Tench around Glascote Fazeley etc.
If I am on the correct pages I would like to get info on our life around that time, if I am not on the correct page please correct me, I am used to that after 35 years in the RN. thanks for anyone who reads this. Trebla079

Sorry I did miss out I am in contact with the owner of the Tench and we have a family tree with date ging back to 1750s
