I am looking for the parents of Mary King who married Michael Cullinan in or around 1835. The familyhome is in Knockroe, Ballanegare, Co. Roscommon. This is where Michael and Mary raised the children.
Also, I would like to know where Mary was born and raised. Her family of origin is of interest , and where she and Michael Cullinan are buried.
Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
It will be difficult to get much information on your family becaue the RC parish records for Frenchpark/Bellanagare do not start until 1865.
I did look at the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Tibohine civil parish and there is a Michael Cullinan listed in Sheepwalk townland. I also notice that there are six King records in Figh townland. Likely Mary was from that townland.

Not sure when Michael and Mary died but it is unlikely that a headstone would exist. You may want to e-mail the parish and see if they can assist. http://www.elphindiocese.ie/parishes-ministries/parish-details/?parishI…
Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?
