I am trying to locate any information regarding my great grandparents, particularly the Sims side ( although any information about the Wharton's would be appreciated). William Sims and Avice Wharton who were married at Ballymacelligott on 15 July 1876. Williams father was Michael Sims and occupation listed as Carpenter. Avice's father was William Wharton and mother possibly Catherine. Avice was born possibly about 1850 At some stage they immigrated to New Zealand. Any information on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Can I suggest that you search www.irishgenealogy.ie which is a free Irish government site which has Co. Kerry church records.
Also, here is a link to the RC parish register for Ballymacelligott. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0655 Records are only available from the fall of 1868 to February 1881. If they were Church of Ireland records go back to 1807 according to my reference book.
