Hi
I found no births to John Monnelly/Munnelly for 1866 in Crossmolina town.
I did find one born in 1865 to John M and Sabina Barrett, but apparently the infant died as in 1874 another John is born to this couple.
In The History of Crossmolina, by Tony Donohoe page 189 is a mention of a Munnelly family from Crossmolina town:
'In the next house where Joe Flagherty lived there was a family of Munnelly's, they came from Ballycorroun and they were tailors, One of them, Willie worked as a tailor in Castlebar'.
In the Ballycarroun chapter, there are, in 1830, a John, James, Frs (Francis?) and Hannah Munnelly leasing land from James Paget. In Griffiths Valuation, there is a John and James Munnelly leasing land in Ballycarroun. There is mention of a marriage in 1841 of a Sally Munnelly marring Pat Haran.
Going back to my spreadsheet, I searched for Munnelly's giving birth during the 1860's in Ballycarroun. I found several families, and also included ones that I couldn't read-thus designated 'CR':
YEAR   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME   RESIDENCE
1862    March   MARRIAGE   John   Monnelly   Sabina   Barrett   CR
1871   11-Apr   Rose   John   Monnelly   Sabina   Barrett   Ballycarroon
1874   3-May   John   John   Monnelly   Sabina   Barrett   CR
1859    24-Jun   John   Francis   Monnelly   Winifred   Lyons   Ballycarroon
1876    16-Feb   MARRIAGE   Patrick   Monnelly   Bridget   Monnelly   CR
1841    15-Mar   Mary   Patrick   Monnelly   Mary   Monnelly   CR
1861    July   CR   James   Monnelly   Mary   Naughton   CR
1865    30-Dec   Patrick   Michael   Monnelly   Bridget   Naughton   Ballycarroon
1859    25-Mar   CR Maria   Michael   Monnelly   Mary   Naughton   Ballycarroon
1868    April   Edward   Michael   Monnelly   Mary   Naughton   Ballycarroon
1863   May   John   Michael   Monnelly   Mary   Naughton   Ballycarroon
1876   June   Peter   Michael   Monnelly   Mary   Naughton   Ballycarroon
1877    14-Mar   MARRIAGE   Patrick   Monnelly   Margaret   Naughton   CR
Then I looked up a William Munnelly. I found no male named William under fathers, husband, or sons being born to a William (or any Willie, Will, Bill, ect). Its possible William was born during that the records were missing or I couldn't read the writing.
I have a Mary, Bridgie and Ellen Munnelly attending Enaghbeg Nat'l School in 1912 whose residence is in Ballycarroon- no parents listed.
For McNulty info, again I found no Bridget born within a five year span of 1867. So here are all the John and Mary McNulty couples:
YEAR   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME   RESIDENCE
1872    11-Feb   MARRIAGE   John   McNulty   Mary   Clarke   Tawnakeel
1857    26-Aug   MARRIAGE   John   McNulty   Mary   Corcoran   Letterbrick
1879   Feb   Eleanor   John   CR McNulty   Mary   CR McNally   Rcostello
1858    21-Nov   Mary   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1858    16-Feb   MARRIAGE   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1860    March   Patrick   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1868    19-Jul   Michael   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1862   April   John   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1864   May   Peter   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1870   Nov   CR Maria   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh
1873   6-Apr   Catherine   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty   Keenagh

Hope I have been of some help!

Hi,
I do have Byron in my family so have a lot of that name outside Crossmolina parish. I have found a potential match in Backs parish. I have no other info for this family, but I believe Backs church records were filmed by the LDS on film # 1279205 item 5-8. You can always do a google search to see what shows up.

1836      Mary Cate   Martin   Birrane   Mary   McDermott   Corrabaggin,Baches            
1838      Eleanor   Martin   Birrane   Mary   McDermott   Corrabaggin,Baches    witnesses: Patrick   Birrane   Mary   ?

Hi,
Its hard to say, but Im excited!
You didn't mention the time from your Annie was born-that would be easier to know what generation we are talking about. Who did Annie marry? Did she live in Massachusetts?
Do you have McGregor, Burke, Sweeney, Logan, Hegarty, and /or Enaghbeg in common with your McGoffs?

[courtneyanne98]

My gram Annie was born in May, 1915. She married Edward Felmet when she arrived in America. I don't think she ever lived in Massechusets though.

[courtneyanne98]

I think that Lena married a Enaghbeg though

Hi Diski,

Thank you for all that information, I am working my way through it all slowly.
You mention The History of Crossmolina by Tony Donohue and on page 189 a family of Munnellys. Do you know what year that would be?

Cheers,

Royaly

It was written by an 'Old Timer', Joe Flaherty in 1976. Tony referred to him as the late Joe Flaherty, I have no idea how old he actually was by suspect he was old enough to have been very valuable to Tony Donohue as far as old memories of Crossmolina. I am going to take a wild guess and say he was born probably in the early 1900s, so say these memories may be 1920-1950 ish. But it is only a guess!

Hi Courtneyanne98,
Your Anne McGoff is daughter to William 'Phillip' McGoff and Katie Gilroy of Enaghbeg/ Enabeg. Lena was the sister that stayed behind in Crossmolina, and she married Mickie Isaac Sweeney, cousin of my Great grandfather John Joseph Sweeney. Ihave had the great honor of meeting Lena in 2005 when I held a Crossmolina Sweeney reunion. She allowed us to see the old homestead that was built in 1805 where all the Sweeneys were born and raised. What a fabulous experience, and one I hope to repeat this summer.
Please post your email in my personal message box so we may continue to correspond and share info, and thanks for reaching out!
