Hi - I’m looking for information on Patrick Torley (1838-1908) who married Mary Connolly (1843-1915) in Galway. They married December 1863 - possibly also in Galway. Their daughter Mary Ann was born in Birkenhead, England, in 1867. Patrick’s parents are potentially Arthur and Mary. Mary’s parents potentially John and Rose. Thanks, Barry

There was a Mary born in Down in 1847 but that would have made her 16 when she married. Father's name was Michael. To note- not all marriages and baptisms were registered at the time. Civil records weren't begun until 1864.

I assume this is the family you are referencing
1881 Census. Mary Ann would have been about 14. She is not listed. I assume Catherine might have died before they went to England??
