Seeking lead on marriage record with Anna Little (DOB 1820) in County Cavan(?) circa 1840-1848.
John O'Riley/Reilly is rumored to be the son of Philip Reilly (O'Riley) DOB 1797 and Honora Higgins (1797-1880).
John O'Riley had brothers Matthew and Patrick. They all lived in Troy, Rennselear County, New York, USA in 1845-1849.
I have been unable to confirm the information on anyone before 1843 except for John O'Riley and Anna Little in the US Territorial Census of 1840 and a Church Centennial Record history of the first catholic mass at John O'Riley's cabin in Wisconsin in 1843
Seeking sources beyond Griffiths, Tithe Applotment Books and hearsay.

William:
Unfortunately if John and Anna were from Lavey RC parish records will not be available because the records do not start until 1867.
Have you tested your DNA? Possibly you will have matches on your Reilly/Little line who have more info on the origins of the family.
