Bartholomew kernan ... was born from 1838 to 1840 in kildare or meath. The first record of him I know of is his Marriage Record. He married Ellen Kelly in 1860. Ellen and Bartle had lots of children until her death in 1880. Bartle married a second time to a woman named Margaret Tierney and has 3 more children. Bartle changed his last name to Kearns. He died in Robertstown, Country Kildare, Ireland in 1917. His father was Peter Kiernan.
It helps us to help you if you tell us sources for information, preferably with links to those sources.
For instance:
Where did the marriage to Ellen Kelly happen? Have you found the record? If so, please give name & place of church, religious denomination + date, + a link if possible.
Can you provide a list of children of the marriage, in birth order, with years & places of birth + baptism info if found?
Where did Ellen die?
Do you know when & where the marriage to Margaret Tierney happened?
Names, birth years & birthplaces of children of 2nd marriage?
What's the basis for Barty being born in Kildare or Meath? Did you estimate his years of birth from his age on census returns or other sources?
Did you get his father's name from B.'s marriage registration or from another source?
