A long shot but looking for family of Anthony McNealy and Bridget Gildea/Kilday. Found online tree which listed Bridget Kilday as “possibly” from Oranmore, County Galway. Bridget married Anthony about 1833. McNealy is current family name but original family name could be McNealy/Connolly/McAnally or variations thereof. Another possibility may be Conneely. Understand that is common name in Oranmore. Name changes back and forth as time goes on depending on source. Anthony born about 1804; Bridget about 1811. Children John, Anthony, Margaret, Winifred (Fanny), Mary born Ireland between 1830-1849. Family definitely located in Edinburgh Scotland in1851 census. John and Anthony emigrated to Boston; girls married and remained in Scotland. Married names Gordon, Carlton, Shanley. I expect to be visiting your area later this summer. Have searched various online databases to no avail. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Also searching other locales in Ireland.   Jack McNealy

    Hello again! I responded to your prior query on this family when you posted in Agagower Co. Mayo.

    I searched Roots Ireland and could not find any baptismal records for McNealy/McAnally children with a father named Anthony. The Oranmore records start in 1833.  http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0634
