Bridget OMalley Patrick Lavelle Lackan Parish

Hi Rosaleen,

Records for that part of Mayo are somewhat limited in the time period you are looking at.  Parish records are here: https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0754 but they start in the 1850s. Here's a link to the townland you are interested in: https://www.townlands.ie/mayo/tirawley/kilcummin/lacken-north/creevagh/

Creevagh is actually in the old Roman Catholic Parish of Kilcummin, but also often included in Lacken.  Here is a list of head of households in about 1854 for Kilcummin, and you can find some people who were living in Creevagh: https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/mayo/kilcummin.php

I looked in the tithe records, and found a few references for Pat Lavell, who is probably your relation listed in the side notes, here: http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004587459/00… - the tithes were taken from 1815-1842, but the record I found is from about 1832.  Unfortunately, the tithes for this area are a little confusing.  They are listed in County Kerry (incorrectly) and the page I found is only the right side of the page, and it is a little hard to match it to the left side, which is a different document.  You might have to search and browse here: http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/

Finally, here is a page for a Pat Maley in Creevagh, but listed under Owen Lackough, which I think is a subdistrict: http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004587459/00… - my best guess is Pat Maley would be Bridget O'Malley's father.  

Hopefully this is of some help.
