Michael Nally/Nalley

I am searching for ancestors/descendants of Michael Nally/Nalley born in County Mayo circa 1821.   I am aware he moved to Marylebone, England as he is listed in a 1851 census.    That census showed he was married to "Mrs Nally", had 2 children, Ellen and Mary and another person "Mary Birk?" was listed as an aunt.   I am aware that "Mrs Nally" was born Burk although there is some doubt of her first name.

Any assistance in locating Michael's marriage details or his parents identity would be greatly appreciated as the Nally family are in my direct ancestory line.

Regards

TC

The subscription site Roots Ireland has a good number of Michael Nally/McNally baptismal records around 1821, however, none of the records are for Co. Mayo. Finding records for Co. Mayo parishes back that far is difficult.

I searched for Michael Nally marriage records in Mayo and there was a February 11 1843 marriage to a Sarah Burke in the Oughaval (Westport) parish witnesses John Carroll and Mary Carroll and also a March 3 1844 marriage for a Michael Nally to an Honor Burke in the Crossboyne/Tagheen RC parish witnesses Patrick Cardle and Honor McCabe.

Thanks so much for your effort Roger.   The 1844 marriage looks interesting as Honor sort of fits with the "Mrs Nally" I am looking for having had 2 daughters, Ellen and Mary.

Greatly appreciated.
