I hope you are on the mend. With a bit of luck and the information you have given me I might be able to do more online from this end. I haven't done much with Irish records yet - I have to learn to navigate them. I do have other Irish ancestry - Hudson and Foley from Thomastown, Kilkenny and Smith (yes SMITH!!) from Dublin. Most of my ancestors are English with the BRUCE family supposedly Scottish and other ancestors from near the Welsh border at Shropshire.
It is approaching the heart of Winter here in OZ, but I can remember on a visit to the U.K. many years ago how delightful it was as Spring moved through to Summer over there.

Jennifer
