Kilkenny Catholic Parish records. There are loads of Brennans in Ballyragget and the surrounding area , especially Castlecomer, and also plenty of Stapletons. I also have an ancestor Ellen Stapleton; who married a John Bergin, (they lived in Dublin and Ellen died in 1831aged 31) but they probably both came from Ballyragget before moving to Dublin. Let me know if I can help you out at all.
