Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and located an 1861 Michael Leyden baptismal record which is below. There were also baptismal records for a Michael Leyden in 1858 and 1862. Do you have any other info on your Michael, parents names etc. so we can confirm the record below? FYI civil registration of births did not start in Ireland until 1864.

My Michael is the last in his line I have found. His wife was Bridget Devins and his son was John Davey who was my great grandfather. I have John Davey being born in 1843. His death date was 1907.
