    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I think I located the marriage record on Roots Ireland, however, the wife was listed as Kate Bermingham. Let me know if you think this is the correct record. Also, below is a link to the 1856 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Ballinrobe civil parish. There is a William Kenny listed in Ballinrobe. Also a Mary Bermingham on Glebe Street. She could be the widow of Richard. Also below is a link to the Ballinrobe RC parish register. You will note from the summary page that there is a gap in the baptismal records for this parish from 1856-1861. Likely the two daughters were baptized in this gap period which explains why I did not locate their baptismal records on Roots Ireland.

    Roger,

    So sorry for not responding to your generous help. I only now realized that I needed to edit my settings so that I would receive notification of a response to my querie. That said...thank you very much.

    The Mary on Glebe street could be Richard's wife, as I have found a Richard in Slaters Directory as a tobacconist and feather dealer on Glebe street. Now I need to find their marriage. 

     

    The search continues

  • Cathy:

    Welcome back!

    You probably will not find the marriage record for Richard and Mary since Ballinrobe marriage data starts in 1850.
