Yeh, to be honest I'm not sure where to start with the crime records, there's so many and even in the right area I still don't know lol. There was just too many Heffernan's being criminals! I think I found another child for Michael Heffernan and Anne Bagge but it's transcribed as Maria and it's hard to read on the page but I'm pretty sure it says Anne.
This is the record:
I assume Patritium is Patrick?
I found a dog license record too for one of the daughters in the right area. What was the point of such a record? It doesn't really give much information other than location.

Re the dog licence - yes, they don’t tell you a great deal, but in the days before irishgenealogy.ie came online, I was reduced to trawling through them to deduce when someone might have died or emigrated when they no longer got a licence. I’ve heard tell of records where the dog’s name was recorded, which is a nice touch, but have never come across one myself.
Re the petty sessions records - if you’ve now got a reasonable tree together, and have tracked descendants from BMDs and 1901 and 1911 census, make a note of the townland where they lived and see if that narrows things down. Whatever, they can be quite entertaining to read (more serious crimes would have gone to the quarter sessions/assizes.)
Most of mine are disputes/feuds with family and neighbours, but a lot of the time they didn’t even bother turning up to the court- just no app recorded in the verdict section.

My tree mainly consists of welsh records on my grandmothers side. The Irish stuff is only on my GG Grandads side so gonna work on filling them out, it's just hard though because I've never searched Irish things before now. Most of the crime records I've found with people who could be Michael seem to include other Heffernan's. Mainly mass brawls and being too drunk with the odd bit of stealing. There's just so many but I'll start to try and filter it to Waterford or Vicarstown. Not knowing the geography of Ireland and where the cases would go court doesn't help but yep, I agree they are fun to read. I found one Heffernan that was caught stealing two turkeys haha.
