Thanks for your replies folks.
I suppose I am throwing it out generally to see if anyone else is looking for the same family.
If I had to be specific, I am looking for more info on where John was from. I have conflicting reports.
One story is he is from a town near Boyle in Co Roscommon, another is that he is from Crettyard in Co Laois. Very different places.
His father was Michael Daly and his mother was Bridget Harmon/Harman/Hamlin (unsure of surname).
His children were Michael, Thomas, James, Alice, Mark, Bridget, John and Patrick.
I'd also be looking for for any local records that provide more detail on the family. I can't find any poor law records for them until after John died in 1898.
