Hello I am new to the list and had been concentrating my searches in Wicklow. As the area of interest is close to the border with Carlow and Wexford I'm branching out. My ggg grandmother was Eliza Kehoe, married to Arthur Byrne circa 1818. They were tenant farmers on the Fitzwilliam Estate in the townland of Coolross/Coolruss. Just across the road from them is the townland of Urelands/Newry. In Newry in 1827 I found a Michael Kehoe age 49 according to the FW rental papers. His wife was 42. Given that reporting of ages was unreliable, it is possible that they were the parents of Eliza. They had 4 sons and 2 daughters reported living with them. Michael was a labourer. They had 3 acres. In 1824 Michael Keyhoe in the Tithe Applotments, had 8 acres and paid 9s7d in rent. No family information is given. In 1839, Michael Keoghoe was age 65 and his wife 55. Two sons and a daughter were still with them and they had 4 acres 2 rods. In 1848 Michael was 70 and so was his wife. They had 5 acres, one son and one male servant and one female relative living with them. In 1850 both were 72 and one son was with them. That's the last I found of them. Two of Art and Eliza's children had Kehoe sponsors: Owen and Martin. I have no idea if they were related to Michael of Newry. They were baptized in the RC church in Clonegal. I only have records for the baptisms of the four youngest of Art and Eliza's family as records started in 1833 after their oldest children were born. I have the history of that parish "A Christian Calling" and have not found anything particularly helpful there except the 1824 tithe applotments above. Any information or suggestions where to look would be much appreciated. Ann Burns Ottawa ON
