Kelly/Lavin Family from Lackan, Mayo

MayoLackan (Mayo)

Hello,

 

I am looking for information on my Grandfather Patrick Kelly who was born I believe in Kilogeary, Mayo on May 15, 1870.  I think he was baptized in Ballycastle.  His parents were Anthony Kelly (1840) and Bridget Lavin (1847) and were married abt 1868.  I'd like to find out where and when they were married.  The two towns Killogeary and Ballycastle run between the records for all the children.  I have also found Kelly's living in both towns in the 1901 and 1911 Irish cenus.  If it's not to much trouble I would love a photo of Kelogeary.

 

I wasn't able to find any Lavins in either town but I did find some in Lackan with the names of some villages that I can't find any information on.  So I am not sure where Bridget came from.

The other children born to Anthony & Bridge were:

William 1868

Michael 1872

Mary Agnes 1874

Bridget 1877 died in Ireland in1879 (would like to know were's she's buried)

Annie Frances 1878

 

Thank you for all your help.  I just came home from my first visit to Ireland a few days ago and we are already planning another trip.

I'm looking for a Patrick Kelly born in Flagbrook, Lacken about 1859 and immigrated to the US where he worked as a miner.  He died in Vallejo, California in 1924.
