Connole

Thank you, Roger.  Her Australian death records say her parents were Michael Connole and Mary Hogan.  On her Australian wedding certificate, she lists her father as a farmer. 
In 1828 there is a Michael Connole sharing land with Pat Laheen at Ballybreen.  In 1856 there is a Michael Connole in Griffith's Valuation on his own land at Kilmanaheen, and one renting a house from a John Kelly.  I've no idea if any of them are the same men. 

It seems as if all the Connoles left the area over quite a short period of time. A great many came to Australia, with a large extended family contingent near Toowoomba.  My Mary lived nearby, but doesn't seem to be a sibling.  Perhaps a cousin. 
I have access to Findmypast and will re-examine the parents of Mary Connole.  I've looked at all the parish register entries, but perhaps I need to reconsider the parents. 
Thank you for your help,

Lesley

Many thanks for all these leads.  I will try to make a time line of the various Connole families, and see how everyone fits in. Regards, Lesley
