    Hello again!

    If Margaret was baptized in the church around Kilnamanagh which would be Ballinameen/Estersnow/Kilnamanagh records do not start until November 1859. I did find an 1852 baptismal record in Boyle RC parish (see below) which is the parish just to the north of Ballinameen. Do you know her mother's name?

  • Thanks again for your response. She was of Corrigeenacree, Elphin which I am unable to identify when they married at Ballinameen (Mantua) - her mother's name was not given, but her eldest daughter was Mary Ann. Am I correct to presume Feely and Feehilly are the same name? The witnesses were Rose Feely and John Cregg. I had noted the 1852 baptism, but her age varies in the 1901 (41) & 1911 (56) census, so I cannot assume. Perhaps it was Carrigeen,Shankill? Your kindness is much appreciated.

    The townland was likely Carrigeenacreeha in Kilcolagh civil parish. The RC parish would have been Kilnamanagh and Estersnow. I have seen Feely and Feehily as the same surname.

  • Hi Linley,

    Margaret Feeley was my great great grandmother. She married john brennan in Boyle in 1883. They had 6 children:

    Timothy, Margaret (married James Conroy), MaryAnne (Married Bernard Brennan), John (married Catherine Higgins), Hanora ( married Jim Brennan) and Bridget (married Patrick Daly). MaryAnne was my great grandmother. Are you related to this family? Let me know if you need any more info.

    Kindest Regards
