I have recently found some information that my 3x great grandfather Michael McCue ( sp McKew or McHugh) may have lived in the Kilkenny Parish of Maryborough. I am looking for records on Maria ( Mira or Mariah) McCue bapt 1830, Julia bapt 1834, and Jeremiah bapt 1843.
Reachingout Ireland staff previously verified that Michael had several children with wife Mary Dunne in Portarlington as follows: Judy bapt 16/9/1828, Patrick bapt 14/11/1830, Bridget bapt 5/8/1833, Michael bapt 16/3/1836 - my 3x great grandfather, John bapt 13/1/1839, Fanny bapt 7/6/1840.
Maria McCue (bapt 1829 -31) married Edward Moran and they were living in Sing Sing, NY ( now called Ossining). In Maria's 1891 will she named several potential heirs- her brothers- my great grand father Michael (and his wife Annie) and Jeremiah, and her sister Julia Brady husband Terence Brady
She also named relatives still living in Ireland as follows: Fanny is mentioned in the 1891 will as "Fanny Dunn residing in Marybone, Queen's Co, Ireland" Bridget is also mentioned as "Bridget Dowling residing in Marybone, Queen's Co., Ireland" Mary Dowling is also mentioned in Marybone, Queen's Co., Ireland".

Mary:
Welcome back!
There are no additional records on Roots Ireland for any other children of Michael McCue and Mary Dunne in Co. Laois besides the six records already provided. Here is the link to the Maryborough RC parish register in case you want to look for the missing records. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0714
