The records seem to start around 1850 and before that there are no entries. The name Priel is not a common Irish name and so with it and Loftus showing up in the same parish it would indicate they were kin to the folks you have. Foxford in Mayo is a good ways from Killala and there is a patish in that area called Kilcommon. It is a small parish but there is also a large parish in the west of Ireland by the same name. I have seen some confusion between Kilcummin and Kilcommon Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
