Fr. Joseph McEnery of Blackburn, Lancashire, England

I may have had a breakthrough with regard to the brothers Joseph E., James, and John McEnery, grandsons of Owen McEnery. There was a Joseph Eugene McEnery baptized at Kilbeggan Parish, County Westmeath, Ireland, on 12 April 1891, son of John McEnery and Kate Karty. We know from Jack that his mother was from Co. Westmeath. Owen did have a son John, and both of his brothers came to America. This fits with what Jack said in a letter to me in 1976. I just have to see if there was a John McEnery teaching in County Kilkenny at the right time.
