Feehily from Curraghaniron Phillips from Cully

John:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The only townland in Achonry parish that starts with Curr  is Curraghbonaun.

I looked at Roots Ireland and I located an 1867 civil marriage record (below). Also, located the 1874 baptismal record for Bridget. There were five other baptismal records for likely siblings Patrick 1868 John 1870 Maria 1872 Maria 1876 (first Maria died?) Catherina 1879

This may be the 1901 census record for the family. http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Sligo/Achonry_West/Cully/1…

Roger,

Thank you for this.  Some of this is new information to me the parts that I had discoered before match with what you supplied. I just saw your reply today, so again thank you and Happy New Year.

John
I see you had a Philips/Feely line opened on this but I'll reply on this one.
I spoke to the lady and she was able to give me a lot of information on my own family but as she lives on the edge of Cully near where they lived, she spoke of a John Thomas ,Feely who was married to a Haran woman they had three children but she said that they left for USA but knew no more but directed me to a man that grew up a few miles into the town land of Cully. He also spoke of John Thomas Feely so I looked him up born Jan 1915 to Pat Feely and Mary Phillips also Mary 1908 Maggie 1902 Bee 1899 and there may be more he said John Thomas, Haran woman and there girls went to USA but one returned as a married woman to Donegal (I don't know their names or married names) She also spoke of a Jim Philips whose father was Johnny and mother Bessy Scally so I looked them up James born 28/7/1906 died late 80s buried in Rhue cemetery sister Mary E born 5may 1909 no more found on her or any other children Johnny married 16mar 1903 they put Elizabeth on marriage cert but her name in Bridget on her birth cert and Bee on children certs her parent Martin Scally and Bridget Lundy and lived in Cloonaughill which is beside Cully. Johnny died 1 October 1943 age 73 and you have his birth details. You may know all of this and the Feely information may not be relevant but that's all I could find out

Ciaran,

Thank you for all of the information that you provided.  I am still searching and most of what you provided is new to me.  I am surprised that I did not thank you before now.
