Looking for a house in Normandy France?

I'm looking for anyone who knows things/lives in County Kerry Ireland?

• I'm looking for information on a French shipwreck that occured on Kerry (I think it might've been around Ballyheigue, but I'm not sure). This shipwreck would've taken place sometime in the early to mid 1800s. The shipwreck brought a man with the last name Cantillon or any of its alternate spellings to live in Kerry. Alternate spellings of Cantillon are Cantilon, Cantelon, Cantelupe, Cantillion, etc. This man would have a child named Timothy Cantillon who would be born approximately in 1865 +/- 5 years. I've tried looking it up online, but have found nothing. I heard this story from 2 of my grandmothers cousin (one in Ireland, one in America), and they both had basically all of the same details, so I think that it probably happened. Timothy Cantillon is my great great grandfather and his parents are the ones who probably were from France. I've heard that there is a book on the complete history of Kerry. Does anyone have this? Would anybody be willing to take a look in that book if they have it? I know this is a stretch, but is there anyone that lives in Kerry around a local library that would look in it for information on this crash. The ship would've left from most likely a French port in Normandy, France. I know I haven't given a lot of information, but it's all I have...All help is greatly appreciated.
