Fennelly Family from Kilkenny, Ireland

I am so excited to hear of other Fennellys from Kilkenny since I have been unable to find any information on our branch of the family. My maternal grandfather, John Kyron Fennelly, was a descendant of Patrick Fennelly,who left Kilkenny in the late 1800's with his brother Martin and his two sisters, one of whom was named Ellen or Elanor. They settled, along with Patrick's wife, Mary Smollen, in Ansonia, Connecticut, USA, where the two brothers went to work on the railroad, and the sisters moved to nearby Derby, Connecticut, and opened a restaurant.I would love to find more information on which Fennelly branch we are connected to.
