Hello Listers I am re-posting this query as I didn't explain very well what it is that I wanted: I'm new to the list and hope that sks will point me in the right direction. My Kennedy family came from Co Tipperary, but I am not sure which Ballinderry and Ballingarry and I seem to have identified several in both Tipperary North & South. I have identified John Kennedy b1779 in Ballinderry, married Margaret O'Dwyer 1804 died 1842 as the likely parent of Patrick Kennedy who brought his family to England but have no details of him. I have a baptism record for this Patrick Kennedy year 1809, the parish/district is Nenagh. Patrick married Margaret O'Connors in 1837 in St Mary's church, Cahir parish. The family men all worked in the coal mines in England, which may mean that they were a mining family in Co Tipperary. I am hoping that someone will glean from the clues above which Ballingarry it is that my ancestors came from, or at least tell me how to find out. I have identified the following Ballingarry placenames from a map: - Ballingarry NE of Borrisokane on the N52 - Ballingarry SW of Kilkenny on the R691 - Ballingarry SE of Rathkeale on the R518 - Ballingarry NW of Dunmanway on the R584 Many thanks for your patience. June Any information will be most gratefully received!
