William moved to Australia, where he had a large family. There are many descendants in Australia but what became of the family in Ireland? I haven't heard of any contact between the couple in Australia and their Irish family.

  • Dear Johanna

    Thanks very much for your email.

    Kilbeheny is a Civil Parish in Limerick. I include a link to a map of the area and details as to the dates available for the Roman Catholic records for the parish.

    The best way to begin is to try to find out more information about any children the ancestors you listed may have had. You can do this my looking at www.familysearch.org or www.rootsireland.ie (a subscription site). As some of them were born after 1864, when civil registration began in Ireland (generally speaking), you will be able to obtain civil records of their births, marriages and deaths. This will confirm what you already have and know, as well as giving you information that you can search on the National Archives Census Website at the link below.

    Best of luck
