Hi Cara, I have been off list for some time but decided to browse the archives the other day and came across the above message (Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:08:59 +1100 ). A couple of names, Patrick Traynor and Anna Kirwan, rang a bell with me and, although I cannot place them as married couple, you did say "anything" would do ! In trying to draw a connection between Patrick Traynor and Anna Kirwan, I have the following: At: Kilavaney, Wicklow, 28 Jan 1842 Luke Traynor ( b 1822, Ballinglen, Wicklow) married Esther Kirwan, (b 1920, Carlow.) Luke was the eldest of 5 children (that I know of!) of Thomas Traynor (b abt 1800) and Mary Connors ( b abt 1800 ). Patrick Traynor (b abt 1825) was a brother of Luke Traynor (Patrick married Ester Nolan at Aughrim, Wicklow on 8 Feb 1853) Luke Traynor and Esther Kirwan had 7 children (that I know of ) The first born was Anne (b 1842). (Thereafter - Hugh, Patrick, Jane, Mary, Bridget and John.) Anyway, it seems possible to me that the persons you list were related through the marriage of siblings and your record is actually of their presence as witnesses/sponsors at a wedding or baptism? Regards, Terry Trainor
