Any Galway Crowleys out there? Any with possible connections to Maine? Daniel Crowley b. about 1860's david

Hello, David: I think we may have communicated before--but just in case not: My Machias, Maine Crowleys: Mary Crowley, born in Ireland in 1829, emigrated shortly before 1848. She married a man from Galway, Edward Flannery--whether in Ireland before emigrating or after, I know not (I have not been able to find any marriage records in either Ireland or the US). She and Edward settled in Machias and raised ten children there. Mary's parents were John Crowley and Julia Foley, who was born around 1800. According to the 1860 census, Mary's mother, Julia, was living with her and Edward; so clearly her mother emigrated, but I have no proof yet that her father did. However, in the same 1860 census, there is a John Crowley with a wife Julia living in East Machias, ME. And both Julias are the right age. Now I've heard that sometimes census takers listed everyone present in a house on the given day they appeared to take the census, and the Machias and East Machias censuses were taken on different days. So I suppose it is possible that Julia was not really living with her daughter but happened to be there when the census taker came to Machias. But I really haven't been able to work out whether the East Machias Crowleys are mine. Also, when Mary Crowley Flannery died, her parents were listed as having been born in Limerick. But I haven't been able to trace them there either. I've checked a number of parishes (but hardly all) for Crowley-Foley marriage records, but no joy. To add to the fun of it all, one of Mary and Edward's children said her mother--Mary Crowley Flannery--was born in Dublin!!! So jump in, I say.
