Have you considered looking for Whooley? I think that spelling is more common than without the "w". My understanding is the name Whooley is a sept of the larger O'Driscoll clan. It is to be found mostly in County Cork within a 20 mile radius of Skibbereen. >From a quick look at the 1911 census it appears that "Hooley" may be a separate name of separate origins. They are few in number but mostly in County Tipperary. -----Original Message----- From: irl-cork-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-cork-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Barbara Bouchey Sent: 23 September 2010 05:36 To: irl-cork@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: West Cork Mary - the BMD info I've collected thru research is for 30 surnames from West Cork, but Hooley is not one of them.

I have 150 pages of parish records for West Cork - from around Skibbereen and Baltimore. Barbara in St. Louis, Missouri>> Thanks Barb for your offer, but I don't know the parish, which I understand makes this research a nightmare! The men I'm seeking are John Daly (b. ca. 1795), James Daly (ca. 1800-1809), and my GrGf, whom I believe was their brother, Laurence Daly (ca. 1807-1815). John, James and Lawrence were in the USA by 1830. Lawrence might have come here in 1840. They all died in the USA. I have all 3 of their wills, and John mentions that he is 48y in 1843, and that's how I figured his birthdate. James is on the 1840 census which indicates his birth year to be in the range given. Lawrence lived unitl 1905, and among all the censuses, his birthyear goes according to the range I gave. His tombstone says 1807.
