Edward,

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out. I am sorry you had difficulty in entering your information on the site.

I can see a number of children to James Donnelly & Mary McCarten in the RC records for Derrynoose (Keady). See:

http://www.nli.ie

I see James Donnelly baptised 16.11.1850, sponsors Pat Donnelly & Jane McCarten; Ann Donnelly baptised 14.1.1853, sponsors Maria & Francis Keating & Sally Donnelly 13.11.1856, sponsors Catherine & Francis Kelly. I don’t see a baptism for Mary or a Lenore and both their years of birth would appear to clash with those of Sally & Ann.

The name Sally in Ireland is interchangeable with Sarah so it’s possible Sally may appear in later official records as Sarah. Lenore is not a common name in Ireland (there were just 6 in the 1901 census, out of 4.5 million people) so perhaps she may have changed her name at some point in her life (from Sally perhaps).

You haven’t said exactly what information you would like to find. Perhaps you could tell us?
