Hi Michael, Translation: "Halley, Hally: pretty plentiful, Waterford, Kilkenny, etc. According to Woulfe they're of Scandinavian stock, but there is confusion with Ó h-Áille, which see." In other words, both Ó hÁille and Ó hAilche yield the name Halley / Hally, so it's hard to tell the families apart.
