I'm trying to find birth record and family members of John Molloy from the Killala area of Mayo. John married Maria Nealon in 1853. They had several children and several emigrated to the US. Any information on John's parents or siblings would be greatly appreciated.
My grandad was William Patrick Molloy, born 1898 in Birr, Offaly. His siblings were, Bridget, Mary-Ellen, Julia, Patricia, Catherine, Margaret, James and five who didn't survive childhood. His parents, my great-grandparents were James Michael Molloy (b1853) married Mary-Anne Quirk. Next, back Patrick Molloy who married Mary Halloran, next back to 1820ish was Thomas Patrick Molloy and before him another Patrick Molloy b 1797. All these were from Birr to the best of my knowledge. Alongside all these fine Molloy's I have details of eighteen siblings, namely great great uncles and aunts. I have stuck a little history up on www.mogsie.co.uk
