Hi, I've been researching these families in Kilrossanty Parish and would appreciate some help filling in blanks. David CUNNINGHAM (1812-1899) from Boolatin, married Bridget POWER (1823-1899) possibly from Garranmillon, about 1850 (I wish I had the exact marriage date). Their 7 children were: Patrick (1850-1924) who married Hanorah WHELAN/PHELAN (1852-?1927) , on Jan 29, 1874, she was possibly from Graigue - her father was Thomas WHELAN/PHELAN and I don't know anything about him or his wife. The marriage came about because Mr. POWER, the brother of Patrick Cunningham's mother, Bridget POWER C., died in Garranmillon, and his widow brought her niece, Hanorah Whelan, to Garranmillon to work the farm and Mr. Power's sister Bridget arranged for her son Patrick to marry Hanorah so they settled in Garranmillon; David (1854-1936) who married Johanna WALSH (1865-1936); Hanorah (1854-1887) who married Mr. FOLEY; Thomas (1863-1890) , Bridget (1865-1899) and 2 other sisters whose names I don't know. The children of the Patrick Cunningham-Hanorah Whelan union were David (1874-1958) who married Hanorah POWER (1873-1950), Thomas (1878-1963) who married Bridget POWER (1876-1957), John (1878-1954) who married Agnes Mary QUINN HARNEY of Knockyelan and emigrated to Canada, Richard (1879-1933), Bridget (1882-?), Matthew (1883-1889), Edmond (1884-?) who emigrated to Massachusetts and worked in a textile mill, Mary (1887-1952), and Patrick (1895-?). I am interested to have any information about these families, or about who were the parents of David Cunningham and Thomas Whelan from around 1800, or about life in Kilrossanty during these periods. I would like to know more about the landowners, Catherine Isabella Osborne and John Palliser and when it became possible for tenants to buy their farms. I will be very grateful for any help, and hope that my research will help someone else. Irishisa
