Hi Shane,

Thank you for your message.

Catholic records from Co. Kerry are available free of charge at:

If he was born in Tralee you should be able to find record of it there as records for the parish start as early as 1772:

The surname Colloty is quite unusual. I couldn?t find any record of it in the two land records pertainnt to Irleand i the 19th century (http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp and http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=nameSearch )

Here is a link to a message board on the surname,perhaps you may be able to find something here, even if its just a bit of history on the name:
