Born 16th March 1859 died 1926
Hi I am looking for any living relatives that are related to my great grandfather Joseph O'Malley son of James O' Malley .
My family originate from Mayo however Joseph came to England and had my grandfather Jospeh Malley then he had my dad David Malley . I have reverted back to O'Malley and would like to see if any relatives still in Ireland .
Thank you
Suzanne O'Malley

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not locate the baptismal record for Joseph. Likely he came from a parish which no longer has records back to the 1850s. Many RC parishes in the west of Mayo have late starting records. Civil registration of births did not start until 1864.
You may want to consider DNA testing. You may get matches with 3rd cousins who have more information on the origins of the family in Co. Mayo.
