I am searching for the birthplace of my ggrandfather Edward J Corless. Born approximately April 1844 and immigrated to the USA in 1862. His parents were John Corless and Honora Connolly (not sure of the spelling on Connolly) I would like to locate their final resting place. I do not know when they were born/died.
I looked at the 1856 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Co. Galway and found five John Corles/Corless records. Assuming Edward's father wa still alive in 1856, he may be one of the five below. The column after John is the townland followed by the civil parish.
