A Michael Reddington married Mary Dempsy in Kilconduff Parish in 1837. May have been my great great grandfather. I have the marriage record, says that Michael was from Lisderane. My Michael Reddington remarried a Bridget McHugh in Liverpool in 1849, was listed as a widower with parents Owen and Mary in Ireland. My Michael was born in about 1819 and I am assured by family hearsay that he was from County Mayo. A death record for Mary Dempsy Reddington in the 1839-1845 time frame would help me zero in. Any thoughts? I am aware of a gravesite at the Swinford Workhouse of 564 souls that perished due to a disease event. Is there a source for information on residents or deaths in the Workhouse?
Best wishes from central United States.

Pam, I have nothing on the McKenzie surname. But I do have extensive information on the descendants of Michael Reddington and Bridget McHugh. I suspect Martin was the brother of Michael. The name Martin appears with Michael in Pittston, Pennsylvania, USA, a coal mining area.
