Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!

I was not able to find marriage info on either the James Cronly/Anne Daly marriage or the Chrles O'Neil/Sarah Halfpenny marriage.

I did find on Roots Ireland that Anne had one oldersister named Esther born in 1821. Charles had five younger siblings as follows: Ellen 1826 Joseph 1827 Maria 1830 Frances 1832 William 1834.

You can look at the actual parish registers to see the entries.
