I would like to make contact with any descendants of Thomas Miley of Knocknadroose. He was born about 1813 & married Mary Bourke in 1849. So far I have found that they had 5 children. If anybody has knowledge of the family history I would very much like of contact them Rodney Day
Rodney,
There were still Mileys and Bourkes living in Knocknadroose in the 1901 census.

Per RootsIreland (paid subscription), there was a Thomas Miley born Nov 7, 1815, in Valleymont, to Thomas Miley and Mary. When Thomas and Mary Bourke were married in 1849, they were in Valleymont. I checked baptismal records for Thomas M and Mary Bourke children all born in Valleymont also two records identify Knocknadruise (another sp for Knocknadroose)- Mary 1858, Ellen 1861, Rosanna 1862, Michael 1865, and Margaret 1869. There probably are more born between 1849 and 1858??
Corrected Mary's birthdate based on Roger's comment below.
Regards- Mary
Rodney:
Mary was baptized June 7 1858 https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633353#page/38/mode/1up so the gap is greater from 1849-1858. Here is the Valleymount parish register https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0465?locale=en You may want to scan the records from 1850-1857.

On the subscription site Roots Ireland I located another baptismal record for a Miles Miley baptized March 10 1854. Father was shown as Tom Miley mother Mary Burk. I searched under Thomas so records with Tom do not come up. I did not find any other records under Tom.
Here are Miles, Rosanna and Mike in the 1901 census https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wicklow/Lugglass/Knocknadroose/1808981/
1911 census Mike has married and Myles is living with his family. https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wicklow/Lugglass/Knocknadroose/889466/

Mary died pre-1897. There are possible leads for her death record but no conclusive leads.
