There is a ancestry tree which gives the parents as Phillip Hennessy (with photograph) - 1837 - 24 June 1899  (Died from Congestion of the Lungs. Local Newspapers reported at the time that his funeral took place in Kilruane, located just outside Nenagh. It is assumed that he was also buried there) and mother Julia Kearney 1856 - 9 March 1914 Nenagh, Tipperary.

Could be 8 children - 6 sons and two daughters.

If you are related or know of someone who is, CWGC would like to hear from you.
