Terry,
Thank you for your reply.It is most appredciated.I have been researching for the past 4 years without much success.Until recently we thought that the name was Kiernan, although I suspected it was Kernahan/Kernaghan.I posted a notice in the "Anglo Celt", the local Co. Cavan newspaper.I received a reply from a member of the family who lived next door in Mullanafarin.The lady set me straight, the family name was Kernaghan.What you have said agrees with my research.
(1) Peter appears on the LDS IGI as Kernahan, the same name was recorded in the Griffiths Valuations.Kernahan was also used on one of the birth certificates for Peter's sister, Kathryn's children in Australia.
(2) The Census records the family as Kernaghan as does the neighbor who wrote to me.
() The lady who wrote to me did not know about a daughter, Mary Anne.It is most likely that she died early as you suggested.
(3) The lady did not know about William Kernaghan.A William Kernaghan emigrated to Australia on the "SS Barradine" which arrived in Sydney in 1825.His age was recorded as 24.He later appeared on the 1926 Commonwealth Electoral Roll as living with his Aunt, Kathryn McHugh (Kernaghan).I have a cousin who can recall meeting William (Billy)in Sydney.
(4) My research alsso disclosed that the farm at Mullanafarin appears to have been in the name of Nicholas Burns in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828.William Kernahan wife was Mary Burnes.According to the LDS IGS, a William Kernahan married a Mary Kernahan at Taylorstown Antrim Ireland About 1844, however I cannot tie anything up here.
Once Again Thank You
Kevin Farrelly
