This is a bit off the Cemetery issue. As a final wrap up to my research I have been meaning to contact the churches in the areas that they lived. Just to see if they would have any additional information. I know that there are at least two children we are missing. It looks like most of the children did immigrate. One only made it to Scotland. He said in 1914 That he and his two sisters Matilda and Annie Josephine were the only surviving children of the 9. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There are a couple of problems with this. As the mother was Catholic and the father was church of England. I am not sure how the family dynamics worked. I probably need to contact both sects. as they may have had dealings with both or none. I found one of the earliest baptism in the Catholic Parish film 1860 Calla listed as residence. The rest of the baptisms I found were civil registration. *Also on the 1911 census for the Roundstone, there were several entries all very confusing. People crossed out others added in. 1901 census had him listed in # 53 1911 one entry in # 53 another in # 60 with a Patrick Green taking over #53> The Library says the numbers mean nothing. Are there any addresses in Roundstone? I would like to find where they might have been living if I ever go over there. Is there a good town map on line.

Errisbeg West ------------------------------ Hello Teri >From Calla, they would certainly have attended church in Ballyconneely. The current PP is Fr Dunleavy (Church of the Holy Family.) I think there are others on the Galway list who might be able to help better than I can. I don't know much about Irish census returns. I'm afraid I lost some of your details in transferring files to a new computer. From memory, you had some Malleys in Calla - still there in the 1870s? If you do manage to get out there, John Malley has a little farm on Strand Road, Ballyconneely and rents out a very nice cottage with its own little beach - [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Roundstone is only a small fishing village - popular with painters and photographers. It's not on any town map. You could get a disc of the original, 19th-century Ordnance Survey map from Galway Library or buy the modern OS map - Discovery Series #44. They sometimes have copies on eBay. Tim Robinson's Gazetteer of Connemara is a poor map but would give you a few details about Roundstone parish - he lives there and has a small shop in the village. Calla is in Ballindoon parish. I think I should tell you that on January 28th 1873, Patrick Malley of Calla was murdered by his own son, William. The police report said that he was hit over the head with a loy (turf spade.) There's a brief reference to it on _http://aoh32.org_ (http://aoh32.org) The Playboy of the Western World is based on the killing of Patrick Malley of Calla. Synge probably read about it in the local press. William Malley is Christy Mahon in the play, a great hero with the local girleens for having killed his da! Sara: 'And asking your pardon, is it you's the man killed his father?' Christy: 'I am, God help me!' Sara: 'Then my thousand welcomes to you, and I've run up with a bra ce of duck's eggs for your food today.' Christy: 'They're a great and weighty size.' Susan: 'And I run up with a pat of butter, for it'd be a poor thing to have you eating your spuds dry, and you after running a great way since you did destroy your da.' Christy: 'Thank you kindly.' Honor: 'And I brought you a little cut of a cake, for you should have a thin stomach on you, and you that length walking the world.' Nelly: 'And I brought you a little laying pullet - boiled and all she is - was crushed at the fall of night by the curate's car. Feel the fat on that breast, mister.' So if you can claim descent from those two, you've reason to go round to the stage door and brag about it! Brian
