Trying to find more information on my husbands paternal Sennett side that we know came to the US from Tipperary in about 1850-1854. William Sennett immigrated when he was about 10 to 12 years old to New York or possibly Canada before settling in North East, PA. His moth Nora Sennett came to, but no father came so we know he either died on a ship or before they came. Is the town of Kilsheelan near Tippeary? There were also two sisters that came to the USA too - Margaret and Catherine. William Sennett named his firstborn son Richard, so thought there might be a Richard that married Nora or Honora in the Tipperary area. There may have been 2 other children that they had, a Helen or John but no US record of them that I can find. Any help appreciated! Irish Lynn

Kilsheelan is a townland, also the name of a civil parish in County Tipperary, on the border with County Waterford,
And there was people of one variation of the name in the area

Do you know the religious denomination of the family?
-
If they are RC this is the parish which covers Kilsheelan

I had a look at 1840 and start of 1841, there are Synnot's there didn't spot yours so far.
-
They would be Cathoiics. Any marriages of Richard Sennett or Sinnett to Nora ? I would say years of 1830 to 1835? Somewhere in Tipperary.
Thanks!Irish Lynn

Oh My, this may be the family! There was a sister Catherine that came over listed in the family tree. Another sister Margaret are too and may have been named after her aunt Margaret Gorman.
Is there any way to fine information on a feather e,certificate for Richard Synnott? I think this at be the family . We think he died in Ireland before they came over. Probably 183 to 1854.
If this is the family, is there a way to find the marriage certificate for Honora and Richard? Probably in the same town. 1835 to 1838 timeframe? So excited - thank you!!
-
I see Kilsheelan is listed in county Waterford for one child and County Tipperary for another. Is there a difference?
I think there may also have been a Helen or Ellen Synnott born to Richard and Honora. Do you see any by that name? Many Thanks! Irish Lynn
-
I gave you the link so you could have a look yourself, and as I said Kilsheelan is on the Waterford/Tipperary border.
-
Ok, many Thanks!!

Second from bottom right hand page.
The year search isn't working on this register you need to scroll through to the year you want.
-
If John and Catherine were the youngest, the others and the marriage will be before 1841 and so may have missed the register as it starts 1840.
There doesn't appear to be anything earlier
http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&parish=Gambonsfield%20and%20Kilcash&churchid=1108
RootsIreland also start 1840 for this parish.
The only hope would be if Honora came from a different parish (which has earlier records), they most likely married there.

I think there may also have been a Helen or Ellen Synnott born to Richard and Honora. Do you see any by that name? Many Thanks! Irish Lynn

Couldn't find a marriage for Richard and Honora Gorman - Important to remember this family is not definitely the one you are looking for - you would need more evidence to confirm.

There is a Pennsylvania death certificate for Catherine O'Connor who died in Erie on 13 Dec 1921. She was listed as the daughter of Richard and Nora Sennett.
There is an entry for her on the Erie Co. library's obituary index, in case that helps - http://www.erielibrary.org/obits/
-
Thank you! Yes I saw that on Ancestry and saved it to my Family tree. I do think this is the family.
How do I access the obituary via the link you sent? Irish Lynn
-
It looks like the library will provide it for a fee - http://www.erielibrary.org/obituary-listings/

Hi, Irish Lynn childrenhere. It’s been a few years since i put out questions on my husbands Sennett/Sinnott family from Tipperary. Since 2016, i have gone on vacation in Ireland and we went thru Kilsheelan and the Waterford/Southern Tipperary area - Beautuful! We did not find any Sennettsin the graveyards we went thru, but did see that there was a map from the Waterford area with Sinnott information in it - from the 1700s. We also saw both Synnott and Sinnott on bars and Law firms in Dublin. I am now looking for more details on Honora Gorman who we are pretty sure was married to Richard Sinnott/Synnott and emigrated with her 5 children in 1852-1854. They all ended up in Western Pennsylvania. 2 died along the way, but 3 lived to adults and had families. My husbands family all went to NorthEast, PA and Erie, PA.
Anymore information people might want to share would be very appreciated! Thank You!
