Billy's baptismal sponsors were William Foran and Honora Shine.

Billy and his wife, Jo, were related. It's thought by a family member that they might have been third cousins, but the exact connection hasn't been established. We do know that Billy's father's name was Maurice and that Maurice's father's name was Bryan (Maurice's children were known as the 'Maurice Bryans'). However it's not known if Maurice was a son of "Little Bryan" (which would make Jo and Billy third cousins once removed), or a son of Bryan Cunningham who married Johanna Hudson (which would make them first cousins once removed). Perhaps the former is more likely.

Billy, who was a fine singer, inherited the Cunningham family home in Moyvane village.

William married Johanna (Jo) O'CONNOR, daughter of Edmond (Eddie or Ned) O'CONNOR and Mary FLAVIN. Johanna was born 9 Apr 1913 in Sallowglen, Tarbert, Co. Kerry. She died 9 Jan 1986 in Listowel, Co. Kerry and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

347. Hanora (Hannah) HARRINGTON (James HARRINGTON , Johanna CUNNINGHAM , Daniel , 'unknown' ) was born about 1900 in probably Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. She died 17 Apr 1992 and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Hannah and John lived in Kilbaha.

Note from Helen: I am not 100% sure that Hannah's parents were indeed James Harrington and Mary Kennelly of Kilbaha, but I am making the assumption that thery were, based on the fact that their daughter Hannah was born around the same time as John Shanahan's wife, Hannah Harrington, i.e., around 1900, and the fact that it seems that James and Mary's daughter was the only Hannah Harrington of approximately 10 years of age living in the Newtownsandes area at the time of the 1911 census.

Hanora married John J. SHANAHAN, son of James SHANAHAN and Bridget AHERN (caution: not verified), about 1938. John was born about 1893 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. He died 7 Jan 1968 and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.
