Three pages of Patrick Reillys in Griffith's Valuations, 1848-64, for Co. Mayo, none in Ballina. Nearest appears to be one in Scotchport, a townland approx 2 miles south-east of Ballina, in Backs Catholic Parish, civil parish of Kilbelfad. There are two John Reillys in Ballina, one in Brook Street, one in Harts Lane, and another in Garrycloonagh townland just north of Scotchport. The only Timothy, however, is at Islandeady, which is miles away the other side of Castlebar (and there's a Patrick there too). For a putative (O)Reilly ancestor try a search on 'Myles the Slasher'. Finally, the 1846 Slater's Directory for Ballina lists a Stephen Loftus as a butcher in Bridge Street, Ballina, and Griffiths has a John Loftus and a Patrick Loftus in Kilbelfad, Tyllysleve townland and Cloonyarigaun respectively. Good hunting. Garry Satherley in Australia. P.S. I'm trying to find a Catherine O'Reilly who married an Owen McHale c. 1840 somewhere in Co. Mayo, if anyone should stumble across her. --------------------------------- Sick of deleting your inbox? Yahoo!7 Mail has free unlimited storage. Get it now.
