Hi
There's a Mary Gaffy ( could be a misspelling as there are many) and a
Bridget Gaffney as Sponsors at Baptisms in Tubber and Rosemount(
Kilcumreragh is the old name).
Mary in 1840,too late I guess,and Bridget in 1828.
I mention these just to give you and idea of one place to look.
Frank McGonigal.
Researching --GORRY,KEENAGHAN and LOWRY in MOATE.
