For Kilkenny County the following is listed. Fitzgerald, Horace, (home) France, owned 279 acres, value 175 pounds Fitzgerald, Michael, Bauntha, owned 6 acres, value, 5 pounds Fitzgerald, Patrick, Bauntha, owned 3 acres, value 1 pound 15 shillings St. Leger, John,(home) Kyle, Callan, owned 1 acre, value 15 shillings. These may or may not be relatives of yours, but may give you specific towns where you can start looking for family. Good luck in your search.
