I spoke with your brother, Marty, several years ago when he was living in Chicago. I did stumble across death notice for your brother James and Hugh's wife, Julie by doing Google searches on Corley Ballintubber. I did get your brother's names from Marty. But I didn't know that your father's sister died young. I found your father and his sister living staying with a Walsh uncle at the time of the 1911 Census. I am now of the believe that our great grandmother's first name was Elizabeth. It appears from all the documents and information that I have been able to gather that Patrick Corley and Mary Walsh followed what is known as the Irish Naming Convention in naming their children. One bit of information that was on the report from the Genealogical Centre that on Christmas Day in (I think) 1837 there was a bit of a to do in the Corley's Pub involving a Horan and Keveaney. The owners were Ned and Betty Corley. The Ellen KIlcoyne that married our great great uncle, James, in Cleveland Ohio was also from Ballintubber. Thanks so much for the information. I do have some information on the our Walshes that came to Cleveland if you or anyone in the family is interested. Best Wishes from one Corley branch to another.
