Hello,I don't know if this is of much help, but Fearons were very active in Kilmore RC (and Civil) Parish in Co Armagh.The Catholic Directory of 1838 lists a John Fearon who was curate with James O'Neill PP in Portadown, Drumcree chapel.
A Father Fearon was curate of the Parish of Kilmore 1835-7.
A Bernard Fearon of Mulladry assisted the parish priest in the purchase of land for the church at Stonebride, Kilmore Parish in 1886 and several years thereafter.
If you have no other leads, you may want to check out Kilmore Parish, Co Armagh.Also, try to locate the extant lists of priests in the several parishes of Co Armagh.The National Library of Ireland in Dublin would be of help possibly.good luck.
