Trying again on the trail of Francis McHale, born somewhere Co. Mayo at about the time of the Great Famine (poss 1847), turned up in New Zealand 1860s. His father was Owen McHale and his mother Catherine (O)Reilly. Griffiths Valuations has four Owen McHales in Mayo - at Longford in Crossmolina Parish, Cuing More in Kibelfad Parish, Belmullet (Barrack Street) Kilcommon Parish and Ballina (Ball Alley) in Kilmoremoy Parish. Best of mumerous matches with (O)Reillys seems to be the Belmullet one (Reillys in same street) but I need to pin it down if possible. Any help greatly appreciated. Best regard to all seekers.

Assuming they are Roman Catholic, try familysearch.org using "Place Search" for the parish as part of Mayo. Unfortunately, most of the sacramental records for the Famine era are missing. Good luck, Ellen researching MULDERIG -----Original Message----- From: Garry and Tessa Satherley <penman_and_possum@yahoo.com.au> To: MAYO@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 7:50 pm Subject: [MAYO] McHale, Mayo Trying again on the trail of Francis McHale, born somewhere Co.
