The name Quinlan turns up in Aghaboe & Kyle parishes in the Tithes (1826). Both parishes are in the same part of the county - no Donnelly's in these parish though that I can see for that time. Any possibility that she could have been Dooley - that's a common enough name in these places....... Quinlan is also in Aghaboe R.C. parish registers...... and then interestingly enough - I've not seen any Quinlan stones on graveyards I've been to - and when I check an old telephone directory - there weren't many Quinlan's and those that are there for Laois are all located around this same part of Laois - the southern end.....bordering on Tipperary......... and there are lots of Donnelly's listed for various towns in Tipperary which are quite close to this part of Laois.
