O'Reilly (Riley)

Fermanagh

Patrick O'Reilly was married to Mary Clerkin.  I was told they had five daughters--a Martha, and my ggrandmother, Bridget who was born in 1853 (?).  Bridget married Henry Downing in England (Leeds) and moved from there to New York.  I was always told that her name was Bridget O'Reilly,however, their marriage certificate and census reports all show "Riley"  I would love to have the parish for Patrick and Mary and ,hopefully, find more information about my ancestors.

 

Thanks for any help.
