Farrelly of Drumreilly

Hi John,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking in church records for John?s birth? Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ andhttp://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.
