I am searching for more information about the KYTE, MAHONEY, POWER, and MORAN families from Co. Tipperary. Patrick Michael Kyte (b. 1799) and his brother Thomas (b. about 1810) immigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada in about 1825. They likely came from Silvermines, but may have come from Templemore. Patrick married Helen Mahoney (b. 1794), also probably from Silvermines, in Co Tipperary in about 1818. Patrick and Helen came to Canada with a six year old son John (b. 14 April 1819) who later married Margaret Power (b. 7 September 1815 in Ireland). Margaret may have also come from the Silvermines area. She was the daughter of John Power (b. abt. 1783) and Anne Moran. I don’t know any more about John or Anne. Thank you for any general or specific information you can provide.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and helps you further your research.
It will be easier if you can narrow down place of origin to a definite parish. You could try contacting the local parish priest in Silvermines and Templemore to see if they have any records that will help confirm this.
Records in Templemore start in 1807:
Here are the parish contact details:

Unfortunately, Catholic records for Silvermines do not start until 1840:

I am also interested in these ancestors as my Grandmother was a Kyte. Have you found any further information on the Mahoneys, Powers or Morans in Ireland?
Thanks.
