Patrick Griffin (born 1825) and Ann Lovett raised their family in Knocknahow near Dingle. Most of their children emigrated to the United States. I don't know the names of Patrick and Ann's parents.any help would be appreciated.

Knocknahow is in Kildrum parish. I checked the Griffiths Valuation for Co. Kerry which was conducted in 1852.
Assuming the fathers of Patrick and Ann were still living in 1852, the following records (see link) identify possible leads. There were three Griffins listed although none in Knocknahow. There was also a Thomas Lovett in Caherboshina townland. Caherboshina is a few townlands to the west of Knocknahow. Possibly this is where Ann Lovett came from.
