I agree with the Dennahy/Dennaghy varients. I have an old document with the name Kearns. On looking up churcrecords at Irishgeneology, I found the right person because all the other names like sponsers are the same but the name here is spelt Kernes. I've been told by an archivist that they wrote it as they heard it + used their own form of shorthand. Maggie the Dub

Most of my Irish names are not a problem Stafford, Carberry, Collins, Murphy and many others this one had me stumped. By the way had my directions wrong. The Doheney name was mostly in the South East.
