Lackey Woods Drayman Co Offaly

[FallonM]

This is my 3rd great grandfather I believe he married Ellen Slattery, but I cannot find his real name,   for his son Patrick Woods wedding 1869 (Dublin) to Rose Gaynor it has father of the groom Lackey Woods
Any help would be appreciated, thank you

There's a Royal Marine named Lackey Woods in the 1851 census at Pembroke Dock - age 21, born Sligo.

Trying to make out his address on the church record.

Ellen Slattery is his wife, interesting that the priest didn’t try to do a Latin version of his name.

May not be connected but searching Irish Genealogy for Lac* Wood* I only get 1 result- a birth in 1906 Co. Leitrim to Lackey McGloin (mother Annie Woods)-

However it's probably just a coincidence since there were older Lacky McGloins.

Searching same site for Lac* brings up Lackin, Lactin, Lachlean, Lachy, Lacklen, Lachlin, Lackie, Lacklan, Lack, Lachlan, Lacky, Lackey

Baptism of Patrick Woods in 1837 Kilbeggan Co. Westmeath lists parents as Lack Woods & Ellena Flatery-

The couple had other children- just search for Lack Woods & Ireland in Family Search tehn se if you can find the original register- https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0943 (parish is on Offaly border)

There is a published tree which has this baptism but the sponsors and parents are the wrong way round.

27th September 1835  Kilbeggan, Westmeath
Loughlin Woods sponsors Pat Tiernan? and Betty Newman?
