Does that fit with your research?
Is this connected to your earlier thread

Thank you, I think it does fit. And yes it is related to my earlier enquiry

Thank you, I think it does fit.
Check the surname of Bridget carefully. It might be Kinane rather than Kirrane.
-
It is transcribed as ‘Kinane’ on one site, Kiltaglassan.

Marriage of Mary Geraghty and Michael Hunt

Deb,
Where do you have his parents as Patrick Geraghty and Bridget Kirrane?

Thanks, heywood :)

If Patrick and Bridget were born/baptised in that area, the records would be too early for Kiltulla records.

You can, perhaps, search for the wider family through parish records.
For example,
Mary Geraghty, 3rd December 1854 - sponsors Bryan Green and Ellen Kirrane, Gurteen
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632060#page/98/mode/1up
17th February 1848, Bernard Green and Maria Geraghty were married.
Bernard/Bryan are interchangeable. These may be connected to your Geraghty/Kirrane families.
It all depends on how far your friend wants to research her family.

Deb,

I think this info may help as I think my friend has a link to the surname Hunt. I will look into it to see how it may fit.
-
There is also a connection to a Green, it’s just a matter of trying to piece it all together.

You can search around for the births etc. I find it easy to draw a ‘map’ of the names and links.
There are other baptisms you might want to search out and check the names with your friend;
Bridget 8th February 1857 - Patt and Bridget Kerran
John 14th August 1859
Cathe 21st August 1864
Thomas 10th March 1867
Honoria 10th September 1871
You will be able to find civil births for the ones after 1864

Deb,

I would love to find names of parents for both Patrick Geraghty and Bridget Kirrane/Kinane
-
Their births are too early for the Kiltulla parish records.
I was asking how you know that your friend’s ancestors are Patrick and Bridget.
In you earlier thread, you were looking for Thomas’ parents.
-
I’m travelling today so not able to check info but will do as you have suggested and “map it out” and see where it goes.
Is it ok to come back to this thread if I have any further questions?
