Hello I am looking for ancestors born in County Mayo Anthony Monnelly or Manley (1810)and married Mary McNamara B1820. Their son John Manley Sr (1840-1922) was born in Ireland and married Mary AnnElizabeth Manley (1844-1901) born in Ireland. Mary Ann Elizabeth parents were William Harris Coleman and Hardenia Bunley Goodwin Coleman and prob buried in Ireland.

John and Mary Ann Eliz immigrated to Ellis Island and then to Scranton PA to work in Steel Mills.

I am looking for information for those relatives in Mayo County and grave sites there,

Thank you for any help as would like to visit here.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not locate a John Munnelly/Monnelly baptismal record with father Anthony. I also did not find a John Munnelly/Monnelly marriage record to a Coleman. 

I did look at the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listings and did find two Anthony Munnelly records in Kilfian civil parish. One was in Seeaghandoo townland and the other in Crocknacally townland. Kilfian RC parish has records for 1826-1836 but then no records until 1900. So it is a good possibility that your Munnellys came from that parish.

I also did not find records for the Colemans. Were they RC or Church of Ireland? There was one William Coleman in the Griffiths He lived in Gorteenamuck townland in Ballynahaglish parish. Are you aware of any siblings for Mary Anne Elizabeth Coleman?

REV Coleman parents Spencer Coleman SR and Eliz Garland Coleman and Caroline Harris Coleman parents were Wm Major Harris and Eliz Tate

Hardenia Bromley Goodwin:  Parents--Lloyd King Goodwin and Mary Jane Grave
