First of all, I know very little about this area, but I will share what I learned. I was in Peterswell during February. While there, I tried to get information from the Kilthomas Church in Peterswell. I was directed by the priest to call the Diocesan headquarters in Galway because all early records were now in their hands. When I called there, they were very helpful, but I was told that nothing exists for Kilthomas prior to 1850. From what the priest told me, that is the case for most parishes in the area. Good luck!
