Thanks Greyghost for the information I think you have got it right.
I am going to do more checking on the 1901 census for Dromkeare I have not heard of that place and I can not find it on the map ,maybe there are different spellings.
Thanks again.
Sheila.

Google - Dromkeare, County Kerry - seems to come up Dromkeare, Waterville, Co. Kerry.

Michael stated to be of Waterville at marriage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterville,_County_Kerry
The Butler family built a house at the mouth of the River Currane in the latter part of the 18th century. They named their house and estate Waterville. The village that developed on the estate during the first half of the 19th century was also named Waterville.

Sheila....Dromkeare (225 acres) is in the Barony of Iveragh and Civil Parish of Dromod borders Loughcurrane...easy to locate and to the east of it is Killagurteen....


Do you have the Grave photo for Michael Nora and son Michael.....buried St Finians Old and New Cemetery.....?

Sheila....I have found a marriage of Michael Brennan and a Bridget Sullivan 28 Feb 1868 at the Church of Mary Immaculate Caherdaniel other than showing Michael is from Lohar and the witness was Con.Moran there is no other info. unfortunately the actual Church Reg.does not go further than Feb 18th !!..it apparently is so badly damaged.

Lohar is South of Corien (aka Waterville) heading towards Derrynane but actually in the RC Parish of Caherdaniel not Dromod.

These are some of the children of Michael and Bridget all of Dromkare

Mary. 9.April 1869 Godparents Dan Sullivan and Julia Fitzpatrick
Patrck 29 August 1871 ....James Morley and Mary Brennan
Johanna 17 February 1877....Martin and Gobnet Sullivan
John 25 June 1879....Tom Kelly and Margaret Sullivan

As you can see there is a large gap in years 71-79

I cannot confirm the marriage is that of your Michael and Bridget just a possibility.

Sorry for not getting back to you before.
Thank you all so much you have been a great help with all the information.
I have now been able to find the place on the map.

Once again thank you all .
Sheila
