Conry/ Conroy and Martin /Martyn -Coolfin

  Coolfin is in the parish of Abbey...Church of the Assumption.  https://www.clonfertdiocese.ie/church/abbey/church-of-the-assumption-ab…; .  (Duniry, its sister church, has its own church a few miles away).  Unfortunately, church records are spotty or non-existent for the time frame in which you're interested.  In NLI, Ballinakill has no marriages but has baptism records from 1839-1853 and 1859-1881 for Duniry, Abbey etc but it's a good idea to check the nearby parishes, Woodford, Leitrim, Tynagh, Killeenadeema.                                                                               

As for burial records, many people did not have headstones, but Patrick may have been buried in Abbey/Kilnalahan graveyard https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2538275/abbey-graveyard  unless there's a family plot in another cemetery in the area.  See Kilnalahan priory in Google.  Find a grave is currently a work in progress for the graveyard.  Are you familiar with John Gre nham surnames website/Find my Past?  I find it to be a good resource.  Nearby Tynagh parish has Killeens and may be worth checking out.  

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

I can't tell who responded to your original message but they are correct in indicating that records would not be available for Patrick and Ann either marriage or baptisms.

The civil parish for Coolfin is Ballynakill (Duniry). FYI. There are four Ballynakill civil parishes in Co. Galway.

Coolfin is 451 acres in size.

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation shows a Michael Conry in Coolfin who possibly was the father to Patrick or some other relation.

Roger, 

Thank you very much for your reply. 

A posted the reply to the original post. I received this from another person on another site but wanted to include it in case someone  could check the parish records for me. 

I know that the baptism or marriage records for Patrick or Ann are not available on RootsIreland.  However, I am wondering if they would be at the church where they were married? 

I thank you for the additional information about Coolfin.  Very small townland

Michael Conry could be his father or a brother. 

I did find a Michael Conry  and Margaret Peggy Gorman  for possible  parents for Patrick. 

Michael , the father,  would have to have been born about 1810-1814. 

If in 1855 ,it is the father, he would be late 40's . 

I found a Patrick in Tynagh  and one in Coolfin.  

I have not found Ann with her parents yet. 

Thank you again for your reply.

Roby:

The church would not have any additional records. Many parishes discarded or lost older parish registers.

Roger,

I have been able to find this information, 
using DNA matches.

My cousin's Martyn family came from 
Tynaugh and  Coolfin, County Galway. 

This is what I do know
1. Michael Martyn married Mary Rourty. 

2. They had 3 sons that I know of

James, bn abt 1818 eldest son , who married Mary Killeen,  had a daughter, Anne Martin/ Martyn  who married Patrick Conry of Coolfin. Patrick died in 1880 and Anne immigrated to America with her family. ( my cousin's line)

John bn 1823

Martin  bn 1831 -1891 married Elizabeth Donough . They had 11 children some remained in Ireland . However , many immigrated to America

I know that the Martyns and the Conrys were neighbors both were farmers and lease
 their land.  I know that James inherited the land from his father. I know  he was still 
alive in 1856 in Coolfin.
I have heard James died during the 1860's. 

Hoping to find possibly more children for 
James and Mary Killeen  Martyn  and Michael and Mary Rourty  Martyn
 
Any information on this Martyn  family 
would be greatly appreciated.  

.

Thank you in advance for your help.
