Thank you very much. It could very well be. We have found Mary's death record (we think) in 1867, the informant is an Anne Byrne, address Castlellis. Not much other detail except 'tailor's wife' (correct) under occupation. There is a Michael Byrne as a sponsor at their child's baptism in 1855 and another Mary Byrne was a witness at their wedding. We will soon be able to view some parish records from Gowran so hopefully it will tell us more. (if it is legible)
cheers

Kilkenny / Castlecreen and Gowran parish

We have been able to find a RC church marriage record for John Shaughnessy and Mary Byrne, in the parish of Gowran in 1843. The address for John is given as Castlecreen. We can't find that name given to an existing locality. Can anyone tell us if it is now called something else?
In addition, we can only find one baptism for John and Mary, a daughter Bridget in 1855, same parish and address. Our records came from Rootsireland, but there are no other baptisms for the intervening years even though we know there was at least one sibling born about 1850. We have tried searching all counties but without luck. Does anyone know if the parish records are complete? We emailed the parish but don't expect a reply as the probably receive too many genealogy questions.
We also lucked out with census records so not sure where we go from here with our research.
