Thanks!

Hi Kathleen123
I FOUND THE FOLLOWING, but no marriage record. It appears they lived in the village of Mulinmore South. In 1841 there was a Thomas Padden as tenant, as well as a Micheal McHale and Henry McHale.A subdivision of this area is called Althawalla, there as a Thomas McHale in 1841. Thomas Padden was still there in 1850.

I found the following christenings:

1832    15-Aug   Thomas   Thomas   Padden   Mary   McHale   Mullinmore   John   Manly   Margt   Moffet
1834    10-Jul   Martin   Thomas   Padden   Mary   McHale   Attavalla   Mich   Ruane   Mary   McHale
1845    14-Dec   Catherine   Thomas   Padden   Mary   McHale   Mullinmore   Patrick   Corcoran   Winy   Padden

Do a google search for a map of catholic parishes in Co Mayo.

Here is one:

You will be lucky to find any records from before 1845 though. In Crossmolina parish we have Carolan and Davitt, and Doherty but none as a husband and wife set.

Good luck!

Hi Jsable1975

I do have this couple-John Caden and Ann Caden. Caden must be her maiden name because it is consistant with all her births:
July 1866 James. wit John Caden and Mary Mulherin
July 30 1867 Michael. Wit Pat and Bridget Caden
7 Apt 1870 Bridget. Wit Thomas Mulhern and Mary Caden
Jan 7 1872 Ann. Wit Pat Barrett Cathern McGowan
27 June 1875 John. Wit Thomas and Ann Caden
Mar 21 1877 Can't read Wit John and Bridget Hefferan
Jan 1881 Can't Read Wit Patrick Cant Read Mary Caden
All were born in Carrowgarve with te exception on the last, and that was Mautoge. There was no obvious marriage records for them.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thank you for offering to do look ups in the Crossmolina Church Records.

My great (x4) grandfather was married at Crossmolina Church 29 Jan 1832.  Edward Kelley married Margaret Pugh (her parents were John Pugh and Elizabeth Jane Shannon).  Edward was born in 1810 (not sure if he was born in Co. Mayo), Margaret in 1811 (Co. Mayo).

Edward died 24 Oc 1886 in Shelby County, Indiana, US.  Margaret died 15 Apr 1881 in Johnson County, Indiana.  They had 5 children all born in Indiana.

Looking for any information on Edward Kelley's parents/family.

Thank you again.
Bill

You have helped me in the past so now I have another clue on our family.  Over the past weekend my cousins attended the Brackloon School Reunion.  These cousins come from California and stay in Roscommon for 6 months each year.  They are very interested in Genealogy so I asked them if they could get any clues about the DAVITT family.  Margaret Davitt would be my GGGGrandmother.  She came to Canada prior to 1856 where we find a death record.  She lived with her son James and his wife Mary (Doherty) at Grenville.  Margaret Davitt had a sister, Sarah, who married Anthony McAndrew.  Both families settled in Grenville.  There are thousands of McAndrews!  BUT I do see them at Behmullet, Kilcommon parish.   At the reunion a contact was made to the Davitt family and they will get back to me but what I am wondering from you is records from Bangor Erris where this new contact said the Carlin family lived. 
We are probably talking different years as I find the James Carlin family settled in Grenville by 1833.  Not much in records then.  James had a brother Terrance but the only fact I find on him is the sale of 200 acres in his name in 1833.  He is later mentioned in the will of James.  But there is not death record of this Terrance. 
On Facebook for the Brackloon Reunion I found a dedication at the Davitt farm at Brackloon North and I just about jumped out of my skin!  What seems odd to me is the distance from Brackloon North to Bangor Erris. 
Any hints where to look will be much appreciated.

I find a marriage in the Church of Ireland records, not the Catholic parish records. The Pugh name was spelled Pue.
1803, Feb 24 Marriage of John Pue and Jane Shannon of Ballynagor, Moygownagh Parish
1810, Oct 6 Oliver Pue, burial in Crossmolina
1817 Sep 13 Henry Pue, widow of Henry, of Touree, Burial
There is no mention of ages, or parents of the burials.


As far as Edward Kelly is concerned, I have no records prior to ca 1835 (as mentioned in my introduction) so I have no info for you. I am sure the Kelleys were Catholic though as there are no Kelley in COI records. The Pugh name is COI.
Sorry I can't help.

Hi margym317
Sorry but that area is out of my 'expertise'. Perhaps someone else has more knowledge of the area.

I assume you have already googled Bangor Erris Kilcommon Belmullet for church records?

Can any one help?

Thanks for your help.  I am going to find these people before I die!  I can use Ncestry at my local library.  Next week!
