   I had relatives living in Kippagh townland during the time period mentioned in your posting. They had relatives named Foley that emigrated to the area you mentioned. Do you recognize the names McSweeney or Collins?

Which Kippagh townland?

Daniel and Julia appear to have emigrated before 1880 to Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan.
Daniel married twice 1890 and 1902 he was a conductor on the railway

Julia married quite young about 16/17 to William J Dax

Greetings during lockdown time. I have pretty much sorted my Great  Grandfather Patrick Foley. He died while in the Townland of Castlekevin and was baptised while at Bawnmore  Townland. He also lived in Kippagh Townland. However I can't find any evidence that he lived at Kippagh. There are no records that I can find.
And more generally. Did labourers move readily  from Townland to Townland? At Castlekevin Patrick Foley is recorded as having a house only at five shillings. Is that per year?

Yes got those records thanks. But I can't find any records for Kippagh. Maybe it wasn't part of the 1851 Census?
