Go raibh mile maith agat, Daithi. Those records sound like a treasure trove of info. I'd hope to schedule a visit to the Archives on a future trip to Ireland.

Clonanny people would have been baptized about two miles away at Killenard (St Michael's RC) in Portarlington parish.
Could Kilkenny have been a misread of Killenard?
That would take care of all the discrepancies.

My great-grandmother, Bridget Coughlan, was born 1847 in the lock house. House is occupied by same family, now 5th generation. Father was John Coughlan; mother ?Mary? Bridget could have been sister to Thomas.
The lock house was near the Laois border. She married Michael foster in 1864 in the (now beautifully preserved) St Michael's RC church in Monastereven. They lived in Lea Portarlington laois and had 13 children, several of whom lived in/around New Haven, CT.
