Unless you are very rich I suggest you don't pay for Irish research until you know how the system works.

James Kilkenny of Drimna married Catherine McCartan sometime before 1834.  The marriage does not appear in the Cloone parish records and this date is too early for the Aughavas records.  It may be that they married in some other parish.

At least 4 children are recorded in the Cloone parish records: Ally on 31st December 1834, Michael on 15th August 1836, Pat on 21st March 1842 and John on 3rd June 1844.  There is also another Ally who was baptised 30th March 1845.  Her mother was given as Catherine McCabe but I believe this may have been an error in the parish book.


I cannot find Mary in either the Cloone or the Aughavas records although the latter probably start too late for her.  Neither can I find any trace of a marriage of these people.

I suggest you also look for Guilheany as an alternative spelling for Kilkenny and Moraran (or Morraran) as an alternative for Moran.  I have found many instances of these in the records.
