The following marriage licenses are from the "Appendix to Thirtieth Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records in Ireland" for the Diocese of Dublin. Kilkenny is the Diocese of Ossory, but since you are having difficulties finding Kirby's I thought I would send it along. See entry for William Kirby below especially.

I know that Jonh Kirby and his wife Mary Talbot came over from Kilkenny (on what ship or what port I don't know). I know one of their daughters, Mary Kirby, is my great great grandmother who married a WIndham in Mississippi. They had my great grandmother Lula Melverne Windham who then bore my grandfather, James Robert Sherman. He then married Sammi Lynn Davis who then had my mother Janet Lynn Sherman, and then she married my dad William Russell Crumby. I have a picture of John Kirby and a copy of his residency slip for Mobile, AL (he died there about 1898/1899). Any information anyone can give me on Kirbys in Kilkenny or Ireland in general would be appreciated. Since it's been so difficult to trace, I starting to wonder if Kirby is the original spelling and if John is originally from Kilkenny. > > ==== IRL-KILKENNY Mailing List ==== > AUSTRALIA in your family tree???? > Join the Australia-GenWeb mailing list and get history and genealogical information. > http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/AUS/AUSTRALIA-GENWEB.html > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
