Hi Im stretching my imagination again and am wondering if anyone knows anything about these DONNELLYS. Ive been using the Irish Family History Foundation database for RC BAPTISMS WICKLOW but havent got the money to spend just yet. Im pretty sure the baptism in Avoca Mary DONNELLY father John 1854 is mine. i need to establish that mam was Esther. I know my John was born very circa 1830, his wife was Esther BYRNE, and that he had a rellie Julia born circa 1840 - her dad was James and James was dead by 1860. Ive found some BAPTISMS Avoca all dad James. John Donnelly 1826 James 1831 Mary 1834 Judith 1839. Im thinking Judith could be Julia- Ive seen this name be interchangeable before. Im wondering if they could all be siblings and also could the parents be the marriage Cara posted a while ago Avoca RC 14 Sept 1826 James DONNELLY Mary MCDONNELL witnesses Larry BYRNE Mary LONG If anyone knows/thinks anything about my latest ponderings Id be glad to hear it. Goes without saying its pure speculation and the name Donnelly has many variants. Thanks carol

DONNELLY Baptised Avoca May I say this to all of you before you go spending your hard earned money on the site that Carol has stated check with Peggy or myself that we do not have confirmed data so you dont go spending excess money to sites that could be putting this data up for nothing - or at least a smaller fee. ( end of my gripe) Peggy covers most of Arklow RC and other areas, willing if you write to her to do a lookup but she is not home at the moment, gone holidaying again or about to anyway and bon voyage Peggy. I have other data covering Avoca RC, Dunganstown, Redcross, and Kilbride Church of Ireland not all complete but one never knows unless one asks what we have, if we were to compile up and post a lsit of everything we had, we would never get anything done for ourselves hence we wait, and see if anyone asks us, or sometimes shares with us DONNELLY OF AVOCA Because the child Carol Seeks does belong to a mother Esther and she was baptised Sunday 31st December 1854 Mary to John Donnelly and Esther and the sponsors were Martin Naughton and Julia Donnelly. And the Judith you located in 1839 does belong to James But James and Mary now here is what I have from the parish registers, it is not for me to prove it but for you to check it out. One thing I did note though Carol the amount of times the McDaniel name Appeared with the Donnely people ........neighbours or related ? Cara Good fishing petal John and Betty ( Elizabeth?)
