Kilkenny Surname in Mayo

[angi0]

Hello

wondering if anyone can help we have the surname Kilkenny and on the census for the Uk our direct ancestor John Kilkenny states his birth to be County Mayo He had a brother Patrick Kilkenny father Patrick kilkenny mother mary unknown

John Kilkenny married in Bury lancashire to rosannah gaghen ( she is said to be from Roscommon and parents are thomas gaghen and sarah unknown
John kilkenny changes his ages on various census and in 1871 is said to be 25 years old in 1881 states to be 38  in 1891 states 46 and in 1901 states 48  on his marriage certificate in october 1871 he states to be 26 years old so we think he was born around 1845 in mayo?
Patrick Kilkenny marries in Bury lancashire to Bridget Kelly


John and Patreick's father's occupation varied from march 1871 agricultural labourer to the october marriage when he is down as a spademan

both marriages in 1871 and all 4 people coming from ireland we have traced

We therefore estimated that his father patrick would have been born in the 1820's and that is where it ends we cannot get any further

any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Griffiths valuation has several Patrick Kilkennys in Mayo - www.failteromhat.com - not sure if this is of any help - records that early would be difficult to come by.
Good luck

I am researching the Kilkenny family in County Mayo as well.

We have a Patrick Kilkenny born approximately 1845 in Ireland.  His father was Patrick Kilkenny a laborer.

Patrick married Anna Molloy, born in Bekan County Mayo.  They were married in Leeds, Yorkshire England in 1867.
