Michael McCue married Mary Dunne 1825 – Portloaise, Queen's County (Laois County) Irleand
Reachingoutireland.com researchers checked church records of marriages and baptisms for Michael McCue born about 1809 and found the family of Michael McCue (spelt McKew) married a Mary Dunne on August 28,1825 at St. Michael's Church in Portlaoise, County Laois. Their witnesses were Anne Dooley and Bernard Whelehan.This same researcher found that Michael and Mary had 6 children in Portlaoise (aka Port Arlington) County Laois (formerly Queen's Co and aka Co Leix)) as follows:Judy (could this be Julia ?) baptized Sept 16, 1828- godparents John and Betty Kelly Ancestry.com now has a copy of this originial parish list)
Patrick bapt Nov 11, 1830- godparents James Conroy & Bridget Dunne
Bridget bapt August 5 , 1833 – godparents James Conroy & Ellen Kelly
Michael bapt March 16, 1836 – godparents Michael Dowling & Dora Dunne (mother's sister ?)
John bapt Jan 13, 1839 – godparents Edward Kavanagh & Catherine Dunne (another sister ?)
Fanny bapt June 7, 1840 – godparents James Dunne (mother's brother ?) & Anne Byrne
Margaret McCue bapt Feb 3, 1833 also in Portlaoise County Laois. Her parents were Edward McCue & Biddy (Bridget ) Dunne -godparents were John and Margaret Kelly.
I later found a New York State USA will for Maria Moran ( widow of Edward Moran) that named relatives remaining in Ireland as follows her 3 sisters Fanny Dunn, Bridget Dowling and Mary Dowling all residing in “Marybone, Queens Co. Ireland”. Also named in the will residing in New York were Maria's 2 brothers Michael McCue, Jeremiah McCue; her sisters Julia's husband John Brady(their child Mary Wheeler), Marcus Dowling, James Dowling,
I know now that the Dunne and the Dowling families remain in the the Port Arlington, Co. Laois area. Jimmy Dowling owns one of the remaining Thached Cottages Morette Emo Co. Laois. In 2016, Mary Dunne passesd away -she was the owner of Mary Dunne Arlington Antiques located at Upper Main St. Portarlington County Laois Ireland. I would appreciate any contact or information they may have about the McCue (McKew) family.

Fanny McKew baptized June 7, 1840 in Portarlington County Laois married into the Dunne family. I am in need of help to find out when she married & her husband's name.
I also am looking for information about two court appearances Fanny had as a witness in Portarlington court - one on April 8 1886 and a second on on October 13, 1886.
Cana anyone help with these questions ? Thanks so much Mary
