Anthony KIELY, Dromcolligher

Limerick

Trying to locate and find out more about my 2 x g.grandfather Anthony KIELY. He married Maria/Mary FITZGERALD in Dromcolligher 18 February 1842. I think I may have found his death on 4 October 1891 in Dromcolligher. He died from old age aged 80 making his birth c.1811. His daughter Ann KIELY was the informant and was present at the death. I have only been able to locate 4 children born to this couple and Ann is not one of them.
Andrew KIELY b.1843, Maurice KIELY b.1845, Catherine KILEY b.1847 and my g.grandfather William KIELY b. 1854.
I have no idea where Anthony was born or when his wife Mary died. I cannot locate a burial for either.
I am hoping someone may be able to help me move forward.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched for Anne on the subscription site Roots Ireland but like you did not find her baptismal record. Here is the parish register for Drumcollogher/Broadford RC parish.https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0869 Maybe you can scan the register between 1847 and 1854 to see if you see a record that was missed in the transcription process.

I looked at the civil death records and did not see a likely Mary Kiely record prior to 1891. Likely she died before 1864 when civil registration began.

The earliest Anthony Kiely baptismal record in Co. Limerick on Roots Ireland was in 1831. Likely a record is not available for your Anthony.
