Researching Monaghan / Keely

hi,

You can try searching for Baptism records here...

I don't see a Thomas Monaghan in 1846.

There are records kept by the Chuch, you could try contacting them via the Newsletter.

hi,

There was a John Monaghan farming in LISS, Abbeyknockmoy in the 1850s.

The family have gone by 1901.

There is a Daniel Monaghan farming in Glenaveel (Abbey West, Galway) in 1901.

and he is still there in 1911 with his 31yo unmarried daughter Mary.

Maybe you could place an advertisement in the Parish magazine to see if the family still live in the area.

There were Keelys farming at Ballynakill in the 1850s, this is close to Abbeyknockmoy.

There was a Bridget Keely living at Ballynamona (Abbey West, Galway) in 1901.

She has gone by 1911.

Thanks for your help Sean.
