Valerie:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I looked at the subscription site Roots Ireland and the only Michael Kenny baptismal record with father Patrick around 1807 is an 1806 record in Ballygar parish which is a good deal to the north from Clontuskert parish. Likely not your ancestor. The earliest Anne Riley baptismal record is in the 1820s so too late for your Anne. Did they emigrate right after the 1832 marriage? I ask because I found two baptismal records in 1841 and 1844 where the parents were Michael Kenny and Anne Reilly/Riely. These records were south of Clontuskert in Killimor RC parish.

Thank you so much Roger for trying to find my elusive Michael Kenney. I am unable to find any information on when Michael and Ann Kenney immigrated to the USA but all of their children were born in the USA.
Sincerely Valerie
thank you
