Questions: was Lea church RC? Do you know if any baptism/burial records survive for the church? If so, where they are? I've been trying for many many years to find out (a) who Michael's wife was and (b) where Peter Kennedy (Michael's son), my g-g-grandfather was baptised. I have baptism certs for all 12 of Peter's children, all baptised in St. Michael's RC Church, Portarlington from 1852 onwards. Cheers and thanks for any info/help.
