Hi Mark,
We have notified a volunteer of your request whom we hope will be able to assist you.
Best wishes, Denise, IrelandXO
Hi Mark,
I am the volunteer for Kilbeacanty Parish. Denise asked me to look into your request. Unfortunately, I could not find anything that I could tie to your details. The nearest I got was marriage between William Killelay and Margaret Morrisy in Clarenbridge in 1841.
The Reddingtons were the landlords around Clarenbridge and there is a book called 'The Reddingtons of Clarenbridge' by Joseph Murphy (1999) I don't know if the author would be worth contacting.
I searched the records of Findmypast and Roots Ireland. That is baptism, marriage, death, census, Griffiths, alternative census, probate and wills without finding a connection. I checked to see if there was any connection between the two families anywhere in Galway in any record and didn't manage to find anything.
Regards
Anne
I attach the marriage record anyhow.
