Abraham in Dromana & Dungarvan

Searching for any relations of Catherine Abraham (aka Kate/Kittie) b. approx 1837-1841, dau of Henry Abraham, niece of Right Rev Wm Abraham. Catherine married William Francis Healy (son of Wm Healy d.<1882) in Feb 1876 in Aglish. Catherine's address is listed on the marriage record as Dromana. William F. & Catherine are recorded as living on The Square in Dungarvan & on William St in Dungarvan. They had one surviving child, Anne Bride Josephine Abraham Healy (my GM), b. 1879, in Dungarvan.
William F. Healy emigrated to the US circa 1884, Catherine and Anne followed in 1888. According to US census, they lived on W. Broadway in Boston circa 1900-1905. Catherine Abraham Healy died in 1927 in St Mary's Home for the Aged, Hartford, CT.
Abraham family books passed down from Right Rev Wm Abraham have the signatures of Ellen Abraham and Anne Abraham in them, as well as Thomas Keane with "Dromana Cappoquin" under the signature. Catherine was first cousin to Mother Mary Patrick Keane of Dromana>Sisters of Mercy Convent @Stradbally and to a Catherine Hayes of Bridge Street in Carrick on Suir according to old letters, but I don't have the "connecting relative's" name. Old hand-drawn map of "Square" in Dungarvan shows Bishop Power as another cousin. Another documented associated name in this family line is Dunlea. Family lore for Kearney. Any information concerning this family line would be greatly appreciated.
