My great great great grandmother, Mary KELLY nee MOLOUGNEY is one I consider so far away both in distance and research results.
So I was incredibly excited to receive this photo of her last week.
It isn't the clearest photo, but it is something I never dreamt I would see.
It isn't the clearest photo, but it is something I never dreamt I would see.
Taken at Cashel Tipperary Ireland the photo was in the possession of her grandson, Alexander MORGAN in New Zealand. Alex's mother was my great great grandmother, Alice MORGAN nee KELLY of Essendon, Victoria.
Mary MOLOUGHNEY married Cornelius KELLY at Dualla, Tipperary on the 6th of February 1834.
Cornelius died about 1851, but I haven't found a death for Mary yet.
Tipperary encumbered estate records on the IGP website show Cornelius listed as the late Cornelius KELLY.
Previously in the Griffith's Valuations he was leasing house land and offices from Matthew Pennefather who went into insolvency.
I haven't found any connections to the MOLOUGHNEY surname (spelling variations include Mulloughn(e)y/ Molloughny etc) I am told it is pronounced MoloKney.

Cornelius Kelly and Mary Mulloughney married on the 6th of February 1834 in the Parish of Boherlahan Dualla
Witnesses to the marriage were Rev. D. Corcoran and Daniel Mahony

Oh WOW Kerryn! You have been very lucky with your recent acquisitions! To have a photo of an Irish ancestor is wonderful (I have had no luck with my Irish ancestors at all!)
