O'Reillys - Tulrahan and Holywell

MayoBallyhaunis (Mayo)

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone with local memory of the area knowsifthere are still any O'Reillys in the area or might have connections to them? My grandfather's cousins lived at Tulrahan and Holywell. There was at least one of them still living about 15 years ago, but they were in their 80s and I don't know if there are any younger members of the family still around.

Thanks!

I couldn't find any in either place in the Irish phone book I'm afraid Amanda.

I hope someone with a connection to the family will be in touch. In the meantime, I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others. 

Best wishes

Mary, Harry and Hubie O'Reilly lived in Tulrahan. Charles lived in Holywell. This family has a rich genealogy history. You can email me at martinmeehan123@hotmail.com Mary, Hubie and Harry were my next door neighbours.

Be patient as I only check my emails once a month.

Hello Amanda, almost a year later I found your post.  My O'Reilly grandparents, uncles and aunt lived in Tulrahan and we lived in Holywell.  You're welcome to contact me, I would love to connect with you. Kind regards, Noreen O'Reilly Fahy
