Peter, You might want to contact Fr. Keannelly at St. John the Baptist Church in Causeway, Co. Kerry (if he's still there) Fr. Keannelly has an excellent book of his church records available, but a as far as he himself looking up a surname one would have to rely on "Irish Time" and you know how that story goes. I don't know if he has a sacristan who takes care of such duties because Causeway is a very small village. He let me browse through his books the two times I visited Causeway. He also gave me a name of a local resident who does research of the area but the name has long been forgotten among the many nerve trails in my gray matter. FYI: I just looked up Kerry Parishes and it shows St. John the Baptist but doesn't list Fr. Keannelly, but does list Rev. Brendan Walsh at St. Peter & Paul in nearby Ballyduff so he must be taking care of both churches. Rev. Thomas Leane at St. Mary's Church in Ballyheigue may also be able to steer you in the right direction. Fr. Keannelly's health hasn't been too good since a heart attack and bypass operation a few years ago so he may have been retired. I think the Causeway & Ballyduff churches are in the Killury Civil Parish. My surname interest is Leary (O'Leary) and I have two pages of names beginning with L from the St. John the Baptist birth records. While browsing through the godparents I notice the surname Richard Cantillon as being the godfather of Margaret Linnehen in 1813, daughter of Daniel Lenihan & Ellen Houlihan of Blackpool. Godmother was Margaret Connell. Another is John Cantillon, godfather of Thomas Lynahan, 1815, son of Henry Lynahan & Mary Stauton of Addergown. Godmother was Bridget Callaghan. There are a four close spellings of Cantlon & Cantlan that could be connected with your surname Cantillon. Good luck. Don In a message dated 2/5/2009 3:04:24 A.M.

Is anyone now or in the near future going to be utilising the microfilms for the Causeway Parish church in Kerry and willing to do a lookup? Looking for the Cantillon family resident in that area around the 1820-30's period. My ancestor Catherine Cantillon was born circa 1833. Her father was Patrick Cantillon and she had brothers Patrick and John and sisters Honora, Bridget, Mary Ellen and Margaret These details were taken from her convict record and though i have been in contact with living relatives i Kerry most has been anecdotal stories and I don't have a ny firm documentation. Any help or advice would really be appreciated. Living in australia makes it very hard to access some of this information !!
