Eve, My ggrandmother was Bridget Kinsella. She was born around 1818 somewhere in Co Kilkenny (probably in the southern part). Kinsella seems to ba a common name in southern Co. Kilkenny around that time. She married John Gaule in Mooncoin parish (bordering on Co Waterford) in 1840. They had three children. Don't know if there is any relationship. Maureen N
