John Kinley Malew MI and more...

Although he isn't listed in the "God's Acre" memorial inscriptions, I'm hoping a Malew MI can be found for John Kinley, buried Malew December 19, 1762.

I have found and transcribed his will which states he is from Knock doo (Black Hill) in Malew and names the following children: Thos (eldest son and party to a Deed of Settlement filed prior to death of John); John, Isabell, James, Ellinor and Joney. No mention of a wife, and Robt Shimmin is executor.

I am thinking that this may be the John Kinley that was in the Malew 1739 Presentments for marrying his dead wife's sister Joney Shimmin (marriage supposedly in Dublin).

There is a Malew marriage for John Kinley and Ann Shimmin on April 23, 1726, and Ann died and was buried at Malew on May 26, 1732. John and Ann's children would be Thos, John and Isabell mentioned above.

I cannot find any christening records for James, Ellinor or Joney who are likely children of John and Joney.

Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
