Prendergasts in Mayo

I'm looking for my ancestors. Three siblings and possibly 4 emigrated to Braddock Pa from the county in the late 1800's. John came first in 1878, Annie or Anne may have come with him, My great grandmother Nora(Honora) came in 1888 and Thomas who I believe was related, whether a brother or cousin, I'm not sure but he came in 1895 I think. I know that their father had two seperate families, with john, annie and nora in the first family with nora as the youngest. I also know that their father was a postmaster of his district, but I havent been able to access those records. Any help would be deeply appreciated as I'm hitting a brick wall here.

Re Prendergast

Dear Kathleen,
The Prendergasts in Knock, County Mayo were distant relatives of my Grandfather - there arre also Prendergasts in Ballyhaunis - the vocalist Kevin Prendergast being one of them. Perhaps if you were to contact him he may be able to assist you.
Good Luck. Patricia Toohey
