According to logainm.ie Ballinaboe (Lower) is a sub townland of Roosky

So is this the family in 1911? Transcribed as McElavey

Was the son Michael born 1896

Which confirms the mother’s maiden name.

This may be the eldest child of the McEleney/McEleney marriage.

Mary born 19 February 1882 at Ballinabo [sic].

Going by the 1911 census could this be the eldest child, mother Biddy.

The age doesn’t match the census (not unusual) but this looks like John’s death 1902 aged 83
