Timothy CUNNINGHAM (caution: not verified) [Parents] was born in possibly about 1800s in Co. Limerick; or Kilbaha, Newtownsandes (Moyvane), Co. Kerry. He died in probably Kilbaha, Newtownsandes (Moyvane), Co. Kerry. Timothy married Mary GRIFFIN (caution: not verified).

Mary GRIFFIN (caution: not verified) died in date unknown. Mary married Timothy CUNNINGHAM (caution: not verified).

I am assuming, although I have no firm proof, that Mary was the wife of our Timothy Cunningham. I am basing my assumption on a baptismal record located for a Dermot Cunningham, son of a Timothy Cunningham and a Mary Griffin of Kilbaha, who was baptised on 26 November 1841 (the sponsor was Winifred Cunningham).

James HARRINGTON (Caution: relationship to parents not verified) [Parents] was born about 1830. He died in between 31 Mar 1901 and 2 Apr 1911 in probably Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. James married Johanna CUNNINGHAM on 19 Feb 1852 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

I have been told that James Harrington above, husband of Johanna Cunningaham, may have come from Irremore, Listwel, Co. Kerry. Our Johanna's husband's name was definitely James Harrington and the Cunningham family of Kilbaha certainly had connections with Irremore in that a distant Cunningham cousin of Johanna's, Bishop John Francis Cunningham (who was a granduncle of the James Harrington of Irremore who we believe was married to our Johanna Cunningham), was born in Irremore and encouraged several members of Johanna's extended family to join him in Kansas to enter religious life. For these reasons I believe that Johanna's husband was the James Harrington from Irremore whose parents were John Harrington and Bridget Fitzgerald (a niece of Bishop Cunningham). I have, nevertheless, added a caution after James's name.

If Johanna's husband was in fact James Harrington, son of John Harrington and Bridget Fitzgerald, then Johanna may have been related to James as I believe that James's maternal grandmother, Margaret Cunningham, was blood-related to Johanna's family. Unfortunately I have been unable to find evidence that proves this.  

Note: A Mary Harrington of Kilbaha, Newtownsandes, Co. Kerry emigrated to the United States in 1899 aged 25, joining her brother (first name or initial illegible on manifest) at 374 Lexington Avenue in Brooklyn. Could Mary have been a daughter or granddaughter of James and Johanna?

Johanna CUNNINGHAM [Parents] was born about 21 Nov 1823 in Kilbaha, Newtownsandes (Moyvane), Co. Kerry. She was christened on 23 Nov 1823 in Listowel, Co. Kerry. She died in between 31 Mar 1901 and 2 Apr 1911 in probably Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. Johanna married James HARRINGTON (Caution: relationship to parents not verified) on 19 Feb 1852 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Mikey was from Lenamore, Ballylongford, Co. Kerry.

Fitzgerald researchers may be interested in the following, who may or may not be related to Mikey:

A Richard Fitzgerald of Lenamore who died on 1 February 1927 aged 75 is buried in Killehenny Cemetery along with his wife, Julia who died 4 July 1954. Another Richard Fitzgerald from Lenamore is buried in Murhur Cemetery beside his wife, Mary Bridget. Richard died aged 78 on 16 October 1971 in hospital in Listowel and Mary Bridget died aged 84 on 19 July 1975 in hospital in Tralee. They were survived by sons and daughters, and Richard was survived by brothers and a sister. Richard, who had a life-long interest in horses, passed his farm on to a son. Could one of his sons have been Tom Fitzgerald of Lenamore who died on 14 Ocober 1997 and who is also buried in Murhur Cemetery. Tom's wife's name was Nora (maiden name unknown) and, at the time of his death, he left sons, daughters (including Maria, a primary school teacher), a brother (Eddie who died in England in 1996) and sisters (including Mrs. Ned Collins of Lenamore). Tom kept greyhounds. Also, a John Fitzgerald from Lenamore owned St. John's Tavern in Archway in London a number of years ago.
