HI . .
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . .
A general search site . . is provided . . as follows . .
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/
____________________________________________________
When I search " Roots " (paid) . . . I looked firstly at . . Griffiths Valuations (1847 - 1864 ) ..a property tax roll
I found the following MICHAEL COYNE . . as tenants . . in Ballinakill, Galway
Griffith CoyneMichae lArdnagreevagh Ballynakill Co. Galway
Griffith CoyneMichael Cloonlooaun Ballynakill Co. Galway
Griffith CoyneMichael Mullaghglass Ballynakill Co. Galway
Griffith CoyneMichael Keeloges East Ballynakill Co. Galway
____________________________________________________
There are many more Mihael Coynes . . listed . . for Galway . . but in different Parishes.
_________________________________________________________
Next . . again searching Roots . . I found the following Births . . of Michael Coyne (Galway)
All registered in CLIFDEN . . . ( possibly the nearest place of registration for Ballnakill )

The National Library of Ireland . . . has recently published ALL available records of the R.C. Churches in Ireland
as follows . . . http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1046 . . . . ( 1046 refers to Clifden )
With a bit of luck . . and good eyesight . . you just may find gold in these records . .
_____________________________________________________
Next I searched an earlier Tax Roll . . . called . . . Tithes Applotment ( 1823 - 1837)
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…
The name COYNE for Galway . . . came up with four names + parishes . . . as follows

_________________________________________________________
Next I looked at the 1901 Census of Ireland . . . to look for Coyne's . . still in the area . .
but I appeared to readily find a worthwhile clue . . .

Next I searched for K(C)atherine Folan 1852 . . . in Roots . . .
With the spelling Catherine . . . I found the following . . .
ActionSourceSurnameFirst NameYearCounty
ViewChurch Baptism FolanCatherine 1851Co. Galway
ViewChurch Baptism FolanCatherine 1854Co. Galway
ViewChurch Baptism Folan Catherine 1855Co. GalwayTop of that list . . is registered in Rahoon . . a suburb of Galway City
Next two are from CARNA, W.Galway . . . a good bit closer to Coyne country . . .
________________________________________________
Searching . . . Tithes ( 1823 - 1837 ) for Rahoons . . . I found the following . . . Folans
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…
__________________________________________________________________________
Searching . . Griffiths ( 1847 - 1863 ) Folan's in Rahoon . . are as follows . .

The 1901 Census . . . shows one remaining Folan . . listed

_________________________________________________________
The Marriage . . you know of already . . . in Carraroe, Galway.. . . 18th may 1875
It lists Michael as . . . Ballinakill . . . but unfortunately no Parish is listed for Catherine . . .
Witness are listed as . . . John Joyce . . . and Bridget Folan . .
__________________________________________________
You could usefully look at the original Church Record . . as follows . . http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1070
___________________________________________________________________________________
I suspect . . if she was married in Carraroe . . . then . . most likely . . she came from Carraroe . . rather than Rahoon. .
____________________________________________________________
That's . . unfortunately . . all the help I can offer . . .
Good luck with your continued search
Cheers . . . Eamonn.
