Mayo in 1951. My fathers name was James Corley, a son of Thomas Corley b. 1871. My father had one sister and she died at 8 years old. My father married Catherine Lydon from Partry, Co. Mayo. I have 7 brothers, Thomas, Martin, James, Patrick, Oliver, Hugh and then myself. One died at birth. James died in 2007 aged 66 years. Hugh lives in the home place across from Ballintubber Abbey where he runs the pub and restaurant called Corley's Abbey Lodge. James farmed the farm in Ballintubber. Martin went to Chicago in the 60's but has since returned and now lives in Mayo. The rest of us live in Dublin and Mayo. Hope this helps with your query, Seán Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
