McNally Family
Hello,
I would be really grateful if anyone can give any advice..
I am researching the McNally family from Monaghan. I know Patrick McNally was born about1865 in Tonagh, and his father's name was also Patrick. I'm trying to find his birth and hopefully his mother's maiden name. Using Ancestry I've found several Patrick McNallybaptisms in the area but none mention the actual birthplace. Please could anyone let me know what church/parishpeople fromTonagh would have used for baptisms at that time?
Frustratingly, in the Catholic baptism records, I've found only one family with a father called Patrick McNally, which specifically states Tonagh as the birthplace of all his children, but none of the children is called Patrick. The mother is Anne Brannon, but I can't be sure if this is the right family as I can't find if they had a son called Patrick.
Also on Griffiths valuation I've found a Patrick McNally residing in Tonagh, and managed to trace the buildings/land on a modern map - I would really appreciate any thoughts or ideas on where to go from here.
Many thanks,
Shelagh
