Kilkenny. Additionally, there was a William Larkin b. 1876 d. 1961 who lived and worked with the Saunders family in Lafayette County, WI. He is buried in the Saunders family plot in Holy Rosary Cemetery, Darlington, WI. When I was researching baptismal records in the Parochial Registers of Callan and Windgap in Co. Kilkenny in 2003 I posted the names of some Larkin baptisms and possible marriages (not sure about marriages). Anyway, you can review these records in the IRL-KILKENNY-L archives at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/IRL/IRL-KILKENNY.html. At the bottom of this page click Search Archives and in 2003 search on my name "mike saunders." My recollection is the majority of the Larkin's were in Windgap Parish. Regards, Mike
