I have Leary's in my family also... Mary Leary b 1842 in Dundeedy married Timothy Hayes in 1860. Her parents were John and Mary Margaret Boughan who was from England. They has a son John b in 1839. There are so many Leary's in Cork... not sure if there is a connection. Andrea In a message dated 11/3/2005 7:02:29 A.M.
