Kennedy family.   Catherine Manion married Roger Kennedy. Lived in Clonrush, was Galway, Now Co. Clare.
Children went to SA,  Roderick  and Mathewfirst, Bridget in about 1847 when Catherine died.  Is anyone else researching this family?

Roger Kennedy had a farm in Lakyle townland, Clonrush parish, Co. Galway in 1830, but had emigrated prior to 1854.
