TUBBERCURRY

Pam:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The civil parish would be Achonry which is a very large civil parish in southeast Co. Sligo. Here is a link to the parish page  https://irelandxo.com/ireland/sligo/achonry 

Unfortunately, the RC parish records for the area start much later than you need-- around 1859.

Here is a link to the 1858 Griffiths Valuation for Achonry civil parish. https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/sligo/achonry.htm  You will note that there are a good number of Collery records and four Kelly records.

The 1827 Tithe listings for the parish show two Kelly records  http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…

and four Collery records  http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…

You may want to add Thomas and Mary Kelly to our XO Chronicles site  https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database

Hello Roger,

Thank you so much for the information you have given to me, I look forward to checking those records  I was aware that the Parish Records started so late as I  visited the Parish Priest in Tubbercurry when I visited a mumber of years ago and he explained this to me. (Sorry, I just can't recall his name at the moment).

I hope to enter Thomas and Mary to the XO Chronicles site as you suggest, also photographs of portraits of James & John who went to Australia as young men and did very well for themselves. I would just love to know more about the family back in Ireland.

Kind regards,

Pam Gallagher.
