    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I located the baptismal records for Richard, James and Thomas on Find My Past but none of the records showed a townland location. Could not locate a record for Humphrey or Patrick anywhere in Co. Tipperary.

    I also checked the Tithe listings for Tipperary from the 1820s and could not find a Humphrey Heffernan record.

    You mention Ballynonty. I can't locate a townland or parish with that name. Can you let us know where you located that place name?

    Here is some background on the RC church in Killenaule  http://www.killenaule.net/history-2/churches/st-marys-church/

    Humphrey Junior was baptized at Gortnahoe 17 Dec 1815, son of Humphrey Heffernan and Anastasia Ryan

    I cannot find the entry for the marriage at Killenaule in 1794.... do you have the exact date?

    I have info regarding sons Thomas and Richard

     

    Regards

    Michael

    I forgot to add:

    The baptism entries at Gortnahoe indicate Humphrey was a "Lickfinn Collier"

    Therefore, they lived at Lickfinn, where Humphrey worked as a miner.
