Hello,

I'm a descendant of a Mary Nolan Muth who was born in Ardagh and Moydow in 1841. Her parents were: John Nolan and Bridget Kenny. I have found a baptismal record for a John Nolan that seems to fit the correct year of birth, which is approximately 1814 (bp 18 Nov 1814). The parents listed on this record are: James Nolan and Mary Farrell. I have not been able to find a marriage record for James and Mary.

James Nolan and Bridget Kenny were married on 18 May 1836 in the parish of Ardagh and Moydow. I have not been able to track down the parents of Bridget Kenny, but I believe I have found a death records for her for 1906, which I am trying to get a copy of. My ancestor Mary Nolan Muth emigrated to the United States around 1864.

Any help regarding these families would be much appreciated. Records, stories, graves sites, headstones... Anything of interest. I was able to visit Ardagh a few years ago but it was raining so hard that I couldn't explore the churchyards to find any headstones. In hindsight I wish I'd explored more and gone into the church to see if there were any records. Anyway,  thank you in advance!

Sincerely, Leah Grantham
