I am a direct descendent of John Delehanty and Honora or Honorah.Her maiden name was Powers.Both were from Birr, Offaly, Ireland.They had at least one more child, who was John Delehanty, b. in 1830.John died in Iowa in 1849.Honora died in Dubuque, Iowa in 1885.Wish I could provide more on them.My grandfather was born in Ireland and came to the States with his parents.He stayed in Cincinatti, OH and married a fellow Irishman, Anne Maher.He was a barkeep.
I hope this helps you.I wish I could go back to the Irish records, but the English destroyed so many records and others were lost in the various uprisings including 1916.
Let me know if you have found any other pieces of information.
