I am searching for information on James Kennington of Kerry County, born 1870. He married Anna Connolly of Galway County in 1895 in New York, USA. He moved to New York in the 1886 to 1888 time frame. His father's name was also James Kennington and his mother's name was Johanna.
Any help would be appreciated.

A marriage for James K and Johanna here
of course we cannot be certain that they are yours..they have a daughter Mary in 1857.
Not many Kenningtons in 1901
have you found these records already Doug?

Thank you very much for your comment. I did not have the information and it looks promising.
I will try posting to the Tralee, Listowel and Castlemaine parishes.
Again, Thank you.

Dear Doug,
can I suggest that you do a little more digging, Census records, naturalization records, wills etc. in the States to see if this would shed more light so that we can narrow down the search? This would assist us greatly. Sometimes in your Census we find other family members living with or beside the one we seek and this helps us enormously here.
Another possible source is the Emigrant Savings Bank, if your family saved there or sent money home from there, those records are very thorough.
Also post Anna's details on the Galway board as often women kept closer ties with home.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Martine
