I'm looking for information on a Goff family of the Parish of Slieverue. A Catherine Goff married Joseph Knox on 21 January 1793 in Slieverue.Catherine and Joseph are the parents of Eleanor (Ellen) Knox who married my ancestor Thomas Budd in Waterford in 1816.  I have been unable to find information on Catherine, possible siblings or her parents. I also am confused as to where Slieverue is since it is not listed under parishes of Kilkenny. Can anyone help me here?  Thank you,

Cindy Barnhart

    See the link below. Slieverue is located in southeast Co. Kilkenny. it looks like Slieverue is part of the civil parish of Kilcolumb.

  • There is a very old headstone in Inistoige graveyard, for Knox, and this is what I can make out

     

    erected by Patrick Knox-Killeen for his parents

    Bartholomew Knox 1899 (83) Catherine-1897 (82)

    hid bro-Joseph; 1815 (62) above Patrick; 1917 (68)

    Elizabeth Knox; 1926?

    (may not be fully correct)
