Kennedy Family

Hi June,

There are 3 baptism records of William Kennedy born 1835 with father John in Tipperary on www.rootsireland.ie/ which charges to view the full record

I checked the parish and it is Monsea R C for all so I suspect it is the same record entered 3 times.

There is no Kilvemnon parish in the list because the records were from North Tipperary and Kilvemnon is in the South.

The Tithe Applotments (free to search online) have 928 Kennedys in Tipperary including 140 Johns.

What a surprise to see your reply this morning. Thank you so much. I saw the 140 Johns & was overwhelmed, so chose the only one in the 1830s & close to the date of William's birth.  Will be checking out the rootsireland.ie site.  Thanks again.

Back again w/basically the same question. I did purchase the Church Baptism Record for William Kennedy from Monsea Roman Catholic Church from rootsireland, but am not 100% confident that it is "our" William.  My question is because the Tithe Applotments have a John & Thomas as occupiers of land in Parish of Kilvemnon, Village of Mullinahone, couldn't William have been baptized there?  I am planning another trip to Ireland in September & don't want to have to go all over Tipperary trying to chase down records on my ancestors.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi June

If you go to Find My Parish at the top of this page you can search for Kilvemnon and post your enquiry to those experts.

There is also help at Family Search and other sites
