Have you looked for the family in 1901 and 1911 census records yet?

From the likely time frame of the place of birth of the children it looks as if there may be two entries in the Irish Civil Registration Indexes that might fit. If you go to the Irish Civil Registration Indexes on Family Search - Record Search at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#surname=conneely&collection=fs%3A1408347&searchType=close&givenName=val&p=recordResults you can see the results. If you don't have the birth certificates for the children, you should be able to find them on this site as well - there are rather a lot of them born in Co Galway in the 1890's decade!

Good luck

Here's the earlier thread on the Conneely family.
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,503313.msg3631654.html

According to the 1911 census Valentine and Mary were married 14 years so marriage was c1897. See Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) for links to civil registration index, how to order certificates, etc.
