Hi Kevin & Barbara, I also have Farrelly's in my family. John Farrelly b.c.1806 & his wife Ann (nee Brady) b.c.1807. No proof but family gossip says from Cavan. Their children, Michael b.c.1834, Thomas b.c.1836, John b.c.1838, Patrick b c. 1842, Bridget Mary b.c.1848, Peter b.c1849, Edward Francis b. c1851. Haven't found how they came to Aust. but settled in Sth Aust., where Michael was married in 1856 (1st recording of them in SA). There may also be a West.Aust. connection through Ann (nee Brady). She is thought to be related to Fr.John Brady who was the 1st Bishop of Perth. No proof of this either. There are Farrelly's in WA with a possible connection, may be cousins. Fr.John Brady is reported to be from Cortober, Castletara, Cavan so Ann may also have originated from there. Is this anywhere near Drumlane? They bought land here in SA and some are still farmers here.

Hi to Sharon and Kevin I too have Farrellys from County Cavan. They were from Cormaddyduff, Castlerahan. Below is an excerpt of what I have established: "Castlerahan is one of the 16 parishes with surviving census returns for the year 1821. There are 68 households recorded in Cormaddyduff townland in these returns. Eleven of the households were named Farrelly. Only one of these Farrelly households has a son named James listed. This James was unmarried at the time of the census but was old enough to be a father in the 1830s and 1840s. It is probable then that this is our ancestor, James Farrelly. Also living in the household, were James' parents and his five siblings. James and Margaret were married sometime before 1839. No record of their marriage has been located, possibly because of the gaps that exist in Irish records, or because they may have married in a parish other than where they lived, perhaps the parish Margaret was from. Their known children are Michael, born 1839, Patrick, born 1841, James born 1843 and John whose records place his birth between 1843 and 1846. (For example, his marriage certificate in 1869 stated he was 23 when married, and was therefore born in 1846. His death certificate shows he was 86 when he died in 1929, making him born in 1843). Catholic Church records for the parish of Castlerahan exist for the period 1829-1840. There are two baptismal entries for the children of James and Margaret Farrelly in this period. One is for Michael, in 1839." Best wishes Jill Livingstone Sydney, Australia
