Michael Dillon b 1813 married Mary Kennedy (b?) approximately 1838 - family records indicate they lived in Dingle but no specific dates. Would like to find a marriage record for more info about them both.
Michael's father was David Dillon and his mother Nancy Dunn - I'd like to find a birth or baptismal record to prove the family story.
Michael and Mary had three children - Cornelius b 1840, David b 1842 and Johanna b 1845 -I don't have proof of these dates so need birth records.... The family emigrated to the US in 1848 to Holyoke, MA, where Mary died. Michael remarried Catherine Klin Kinney and they moved to Ross County, Ohio.
The family story holds that Michael had brothers - Cornelius, Jerry and Tom - I've no proof of this or knowlege of what became of them.
Welcoming any suggestions
thank you

Hi Beth,
There are birth and marriage records available for Dingle. Baptismal records date from 1825. Marriage records date from 1821. These are available from the Church of Latter Day Saints, ref. no. 1279379.
You could also try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) and the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com
Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.
Kind regards,

Hi Beth
I found quite a few Davids this one is the year 1842 parents have different names to yours but its a good starting point I have found sometimes only putting a little information in I have got better results then add a little more hope this helps, the differences in spellings of surnames depended on the way others spelt it at the time
