Hi Eamonn,

Many thanks for this. I am a little confused by the two parishes being in Tipperary & Laois but all the peopleI listed are related, somehow. Hopefully there might be other descendants around. One would think so with so many!  Yes, they are rather far back but this is my direct line & maybe someone has some connections. I will work on what you have given me in the meantime.

Marion.
