Hello Bob.
I'm a Coady descendant, my Grandmother was a Coady who lived around Urlingford parish. I have searched in Fennor Graveyard for any Cody or Coadys and found none but there are plenty of Coady headstones in The Mill Cemetery Urlingford including my Grandmother and some of her siblings and her parents too.
I saw your post on connorsgenealogy.com/Kilkenny I have emailed you.
I look forward to your reply

Hi all.  I'm keen to follow up with some of you re a man named Patrick Cody who married Mary Phelan in Clifden Kilkenny.  I have a wide spread of records for them:  marriage in Clifden 1813, birth of son David born Clifden 1814, birth of daughter Margaret born Clifden 1822, birth of daughter Mary in Clifden 1825, birth of son Ned in Ballyhale 1829, birth of daughter Biddy (Bridget) in Ballyhale 1832, birth of son James in Ballyhale 1833.  The dates seem a fair way apart but could have been miscarriages, etc.  I'm particularly interested in the child named Biddy who migrated to Australia.  I am more particularly interested to know more about Patrick Cody's family. On the death certificate for Biddy in Australia in 1899 her parents were listed as Patrick Cody and Mary Whelan.  I'm thinking it's a typo!!???   Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat Susan. :)
Quite common to have Phelans called Whelans.  One Whelan man I know, went to look for the grave of his Whelan grandparents.  When he could not find it, he asked an old local man, who said "sure they were Phelans!"

There is a headstone in Gowran Co Kilkenny the older generation were Whelan and the younger generation Phelans. Same family.

Good luck with your research

Thank you both for your replies.  I guess that settles the discrepancy in name.
Where would I find a complete list of Gowran cemetery records.  I wonder if Patrick Cody and Mary Whelan/Phelan are buried there?  I can't find anything about them on ancestry, and being so far away........

This is a link for St Marys Church in Gowran. 

 The Church of the Assumption  (RC)  has a very large graveyard but is not recorded on line as far as I know.
