Hi June, You'll need to find out what religion John Kenney was from his records in England because church parish records that might survive for his birthplace in County Mayo would be the source for a baptismal record for him. You'll have to find out what church he was married in and/or where his children were baptised. You'll also have to find out from his civil and church records in England and his children's specifically where he was born in County Mayo. There are no surviving census records before 1901 and no civil registration before 1864. Not all church records survive for all location in Mayo for all religious denominations. What church records survive for his specific birth location depends on his religion and where he was born in the county. There's a list of the names of all the towns and townlands in Mayo at http://www.seanruad.com and pick Mayo as your search county.
