Migrated to/Born in UK

Hi. Looking for relatives;

We think the Tully clan descend from a town called Kill (Co Cavan) which was understood or misunderstood as coming from Kells, a town in Co Meath.

1. My mother was Bernadette Tully born 1934. Daughter of Alice Tully (nee Carney) and Matthew Tully. All born in UK

2. Tully and Carney families all came from Ireland in Co Gallway, maybe Kells

3. Edward Tully/Tulley (born Ormskirk, Lancs in June 1855) was the father of Matthew Tully as well as Mark, Luke, John plus maybe 8 other sons plus Rose the only girl and youngest. Became Rose Rimmer. Think all born in the UK. Think 2 sons went to Pennsylvania and died there. Edward married Mary Melia in Ormskirk in 1881.

4. Edward Tully/Tulley had a father, Hugh Tully who married Mary Moran in Ormskirk in 1853. All parents were Irish from that point backwards. We think that this Hugh Tully/Tulley came to England between 1851 and 1853.

    A Teltown Marriage

    <p>Irish historian John O'Donovan (1806-1861) who surveyed this district in the 1830s wrote of the 'Teltown Marriages':</p> <p>"A number of young men went into the hollow to the north side of the wall, and an equal number of marriageable young women to the south side of the wall which was so high as to prevent them from seeing the men; one of the women put her hand thro' the hole in the gate and a man took hold of it from the other side, being guided in his choice only by the appearance of the hand. The two were thus joined hands by blind chance were obliged to live together for a year and a day, at the expiration of which time they appeared at the Rath of Telton and if they were not satisfied with each other they obtained a deed of separation and were entitled to go to Laganeeny again to try their good fortune for the ensuing year."</p> <p>According to O’Donovan, this ceremony was performed at a place close to the Knockauns known as Lag an Aonaich or “Leganeeny” (the Hollow of the Fair).</p>
