Thank you everyone for your replies. Kathy, I only had the dates of the baptisms not what church they were baptized at. In checking churches in the area I was leaning towards St. Mary's but I have nothing concrete. I thought possibly if I found the church of their baptisms I might be able to find a church cemetery. I did write to the priest and the parish but received no reply.Thank you so very much for finding Maurice Sr in Shanagolden, somewhere a long time ago I had found mention on Shanagolden but only saw it once. All others info I found said Rathkeale or Askeaton and Kerry. This is wonderful. It certainly sounds like the right one and the names of the children, as you said are the same. If they were in keeping with the Irish naming patterns and its sounds as though they were, this is fantastic! I had sort f thought maybe his father, my great great grandfather was a "John", as my greatgrandfathers first son was John. MaryEllen, thank you so much for the advice I will definitely check that out.
