Griffith's shows two McConnells still in Donagh. Here's a link to the status of Donagh church records, probably your best bet.

Bernard's wife was Mary McMahon. On the same page is a Moses McMahon, possibly the father of Mary. Bernard's son, Owen, was born ca 1805 and immigrated to the US (western NY State, near Rochester) via Canada. Owen married Margaret Wall (possibly Ward) in Ireland. Owen's children born in Ire were: Bernard and John Thomas (ca 1840, apparently twins) Lawrence (1843) James (1844) I've contacted the County Monaghan Fund with this info but they've yet to come back to me. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on any of this, or if these names mean anything to anyone. The family was Catholic.
