Hi.  I am looking for any information about the Kennedy family who rented Lots 13 & 14 in Kincullia townland in the 1840’s to 1908.  Specifically if John Kennedy 1841-1908 of Loughrea city son of Martin Kennedy (1818-1897) of Kincullia townland and other family were buried in Kincullia.

Thank you for all the replies.  I am specifically looking for the John Kennedy who appears on the 1901 census living on Piggot Lane and working as a bookmaker and died in 1908 with his wife Mary present.  I am looking for a grave or will or any other identifying info.  I can’t find him in FindAGrave and wonder if there is still a graveyard In Kincullia where he might be buried.

Here's the census that you mention-
House 5.1 in Piggott's Lane (Loughrea Town, Galway)
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Loughrea_Town/Piggott_s_Lane/1388138/

Doesn't seem to be a graveyard in Kincullia.

Thank you to everyone for your help.  I am visiting Loughrea today Thursday 3 August 2023 -  7 August 2023.  Even if I can’t find physical evidence of my ancestors I plan to visit Piggot St and St Brendan’s church to walk on the same ground of my ancestors.
