here's a link the other townland of Priesttown on google maps ..   link   (marked 'B')

It's located between Newcastle and Ballynamult, which is just across the border in Co. Waterford.

If the registration district on birth cert you have has Clogheen then I think it would be this townland. The other Priesttown townland seems to be in the district of Cashel.

Thank you Shane, this is the family.  Where would I find more info about them

Based on the dates of birth for the eldest child I see on the extracted records (Catherine in 1864), I'd say the couple married before the start of Civil records. So you would need to check parish records. There could also be other children to the couple before 1864..

Annie's earlier post mentioned a possible marriage for    Denis & Catherine in Clonmel - which is about 20km north of this Priesttown.

There's a possible relation to your Moroney family listed on Griffith's valuation in the townland of Priesttown as leasor of a house and about 55 acres of land - see : John Marony  (AskAboutIreland.Ie)

These valuation records are dated 1852.

Thank you so much for your research.  When I am in Ireland will I be able to get copies of this from the library

You can view the details of Griffiths valuation online and free of charge on the AskAboutIreland website - see :  http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml

Or click on the link in my previous post (John Marony) to go directly to the results which show John Marony. You can view the original return for Priesttown by clicking on one of the icons on this page in the column marked 'Original Page'.  Griffith's was a land taxation survey, and shows the details of occupiers and owner/landlords of property

Hi I am looking at a Dwyer family that came from Newcastle CO Waterford. And I came across your post after seeing priesttown referenced to newcastle Tipperary. I am on the trail of my great great grandmother who was a Dwyer and who I believed to have lived in Dungarvan so looking at your Google ,map directions make sense that it it is the same location. Is Newcastle in Co Tipp or Waterford??
Thanks
