Thanks Orkrad I have just ordered the birth cert for Margaret Kennedy 1866 so hoping she is the daughter of Rachel and Mortimer. Much appreciated.

On FS there is the death of a Murtagh Kennedy from Antrim in 1886 and it states he was born in 1814.  Possibly could be father of Murtagh/Mortimer you are looking for?

This is a great niche database for the Ballymoney area of Co Antrim......looking on FS for Kennedys, McLeans and McErlains showed that some came from Ballymoney.  http://www.ballymoneyancestry.com/default.aspx

This is another good set of records covering Antrim

There is a parish called Rasharkin in Co Antrim where there are Kennedys, McLeans and McErlains.

Hi,
Wondering if you have looked at paperspast nz

Entering in Murtagh Kennedy in the Christchurch Press comes up with 28 hits.

There appears to be a Murtagh senior oxford-cust area  and junr loburn

You probably have this information already
