I remembered the name Buggy when I was looking for the Foyles so I went back to the Stradbally film to refresh my memory. Going on what you gave above I found the following:- June 5, 1857 Eliza of Michael Kelly & Kitty Buggy; Witnesses Michael McDonald & Ann Buggy (Pg.23) Dec. 16, 1860 Patt of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy: Witnesses Patt Shortall(?) & Biddy Buggy (Pg. 48) Feb, 8 1863 Anne of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy. Witnesses John & Cath. Delaney (Entry #16) Mar.15, 1863 Anne of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy. Witnesses John & Cath Delaney (Pg. 64) (Don't know why she's entered with two different dates.) The film is LDS #0926128 - Baptisms & Marriages, 1820-1880 - Parochial Registers of Stradbally. The film notes say that The Catholic parish of Stradbally contains the civil parishes of Moyanna, Stradbally, Curraclone, Timogue, Kilcolmanbrack and Fossy. You can probably find other relations as I just looked for the Buggy name and didn't even look for Kellys. In looking at my Foyle photocopies I found a Wm. Buggy/Betty Burke(Vicarstown) as far back as 1826. A James Buggy in Kyle, 1853, a Thos. Buggy in Moyanna, 1849 and also the years in between. Doing research in this film can be very frustrating however. In the early years the Priest was certainly out to get his money's worth from each page so the writing is very close -a ruler/magnifying glass might help. Also he was very slow to dip his pen in the inkwell and the writing is very faint if not illegible sometimes but you get used to it and I found most of my relations. Hope this is of some help.
