Looking for RC church records BMD or burial for Trehy ancestors found in the Kilmoylan area, likely tenants on the Spring-Rice Estate and Mount Trenchard Estates aka Cappa near Foynes. Family oral history says they came from Foynes. So far, we know that at least 3 sons immigrated to Detroit, Michigan in about 1830 or so; Michael Trehy, Thomas Trehy and William Trehy all born about 1795. The surname is  variously spelled Treahy/Trehy/Trahey .

So far, we have found the following:

1770:  James Trehy( Trehee), tenant  listed on Mount Trenchard Estate map.

1808:  Michael Trehy listed as a paid tenant on the Spring-Rice Estate papers.

1833: Tithe Applotments for James Trehy in Ballyane, John Trehy in Ballynash and Patt Trehy in Leehys.

1851-52: Griffith's Valuation for Cornelius in Shannagolden, John in Ballynash and James in Ballyane.

1852-53: Landed Estate records list Cornelius and James Trehy.

I am hoping there might be some RC church records which would connect our the immigrating sons to their family in this area.

Thanks!
