Mary McHale was a sponsor at christenings in 1860 & 1868 and Ellen McHale was a sponsor in 1871. The christenings were in Islandeady parish. Although there's no way of knowing if the these are the same Mary & Ellen McHale, they're in the right area at the right time so might be from or from around the townlands I've mentioned.
