Anyone with Herlihy in Kenmare

[ladybird]

I have been sent the birth/Bapt records for the children of William and Sara Herlihy. These are from the Presbytery of Kenmare and are in the Dromore district.
5 children 1858-1872.
There is a connection somewhere to my rellies the Mara family, but I've yet to join the dots

No need for the dots anymore.

Thanks Brendan
I knew about Sarah  it's the proving that she is the sister of my gg/grandfather John that's causing the problem.
They all seem to have been in the Dromore/ Templenoe area of Kenmare.
Gg/grandfather John Mara is mention on the Griffiths Valuation in Cappanacush East renting 17 acres. There are also Timothy, Jeremiah and Patrick Meara/ Mara mentioned...gotta be related somehow 

My old mum remembered her mum talking about the Herlihy connection, but that's as far as it goes.

I just thought the baptism records for these children might be useful to someone.

Thanks again Brendan
There are a couple of interesting ones there. 
At this stage I'm waiting for the 1901 census to come online as there are 1 or 2 John Maras of interest on the 1911 that I'd like to check out.

I did send for a John Mara death cert in Killarney, thinking he may have moved in retirement, but it turned out to be someone far too young...drats
