No McNally's here, but Irish Famly History Foundation has a marriage between a Michael Rourke and Bridget McNally in Kildare County in 1861.  There are a lot of Bridget McNally marriages in Ireland on this site scattered over many years and counties, but this seems to fit the time period.  I read sometimes that families dropped the "O" and would pick it up again.  Have also read that a couple would marry in wife' town and live in husband's town.  If you think this record is possible, you might check out their site and this pay record.

C. 1930 I've just discovered from the 1901 census that my g-grandmother, Bridget McNally, was born in Maynooth, Co. Kildare c. 1830. She married Michael O'Rorke - I don't know when or where, unfortunately - but had at least Christopher O'Rorke, born c. 1869 in Dublin. Anybody have any McNally's in their tree? Colette
