I am researching my wife’s side of the family (Kelleher), and I am trying to determine the church in which they were baptized in the mid-late 1800s. The records I am able to access merely say “Parish-Rathmore” but not the actual name of the church. Millstreet appears in some of the old records.
I can go back as far as Denis Kelleher, b. 1833 and his wife Julia (no maiden name recorded). They lived in Mausrower and were farmers. Their son Michael Kelleher (b.1864, married Johanna Daly ca. 1890) ) was my wife’s grandfather. All of their ten children were baptized in Rathmore.
If you are able to provide any information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you find more info? This Michael Kelleher is my great granfather as well.
Not sure my reply went through so I’m resending this…
Hi Sheila,
Your father, John Kelleher, was my wife’s (Ann’s) father’s (James Kelleher’s) brother…making you and Ann first cousins. Ann says Hi!
I have my Kelleher genealogy research on computer files and I’d be happy to send them to you as an email attachment. Please email me directly at <email>.
Regards,
Brandon
Brandon, Thanks for reply. Somehow, I could not email you directly. Actually, my mother’s mother was Julia Kelleher, sister of James. Julia’s father MIchael married Johanna Daly. Michael’s father Denis married Julia Galavin. Would be interested to see learn more Kelleher genealogy.
Sheila,
Sorry… wrong Sheila. Your grandmother’s brother John had a daughter named Sheila, whom my wife knew in NY, so I mistakenly thought you were she and consequently made you a generation older.
I believe Daniel Kelleher b. prob. Kerry ca. 1795 and Julia Connor b. ca. 1800 were the parents of Denis Kelleher, who then married Julia Galavin (sometimes spelled Galvin in the records)etc, etc.
