Denny, Killala

Hi Mary

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The latest available online source is the 1911 Census but I don't see any Denny family listed in Co. Mayo. Neither are there any listed for Killala or in Mayo on Griffith's Valuation for the 1850s. I tried to locate a baptism and marriage record for Jane but could not find any in Co. Mayo. 

The following link will give you an indication of the spread of the family name in Ireland:

The only record I could find for a Jane Denny was on a passenger list to Philadelphia on 12-July-1822. She as the youngest of a large family including a father James and mother Agnes. RC records for Killala begin in 1852 so if this was her parish of origin, then it is too late to record her baptism.

Do you have a marriage or death record for Jane that would shed further light on her history your side?

Best wishes
