Attached is the Griffith Valuation for Roger Kelly from Lynally

There are other Kellys on there also and also Mooneys. 

The Griffith Valuations were carried out between 1847 - 1864 to value all the lands in Ireland - so that the tennant could be taxed accordingly. 

Geraldine

Between 1847 and 1864, Richard Griffith was responsible for conducting the Primary Valuation of Tenements (generally referred to a Griffith's Valuation because of his role in the project). The aim of the valuation was to produce a uniform guide to the relative value of land throughout the whole country. The project required Griffith and a team of valuers to determine the value of every piece of land and property in Ireland enabling every occupiers' tax due to be assessed. The information they collated covered all of Ireland was compiled into over 300 volumes and published over a period of 17 years

Kelly Family Lynally

Good Morning from Australia.

I am currently doing some family research and I am looking for any information on the family of Roger Kelly (My ancestor ,5 generations).

Roger lived in Lynally and I believe he was a tennant on a small amount of land there.

I believe he was born about 1800 and died in 1890. He married Mary Mooney in about 1822.

Any information or tips for further research you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Graham Brooks

John Mollin Sean Kelly’s Grandparents lived where Sean Kelly lives in Lynally. Not sure if this is any help

Alo Grennan The other Kellys lived at the turn where the Charleville wall meets the road. Joe Healion's wife was from there.

Geraldine,

That is amazing.   So much to explore.

Thanks to you and all the others.

Would there be a Birth record for Michael Kelly, born around 1824?

The date for Rogers death sounds about right.

Again thank you all.

I cannot find Michael Kelly b1842 - I have searched 5 years each side.

But I did tonight find this tree which might be of interest to you

Her tree Tubers & Twigs

Let me know how you get on.

Geraldine

P.S. Did the photo of the Kelly house in Lynally open ok for you

Geraldine.

Thank you for all of this.

The photo of the old house is amazing.

I am working through the information I have from yourself and other sources.

Graham

Hi Graham ,

Roger Kelly and Mary Mooney are my great great great grandparents . The land is still in the family but the house sadly is not there . There are quite a few of us in the area . I would love to share information that I have with you . If you want to email me healionedel@gmail.com we can get started  ! 

Edel Healion

Hope u got sorted Graham and Edel

Geraldine

Geraldine.

Thanks for that.

I had missed Edel's message until last week.

I've now sent an email and am hoping to hear something back.

Graham

Hi my name is Laura Kelly. This is the house where my grandad was born in Lynally. 

Great hope it all worked out

Geraldine

Graham,

I am researching the same people!  I traced them my my Mom in Rochester, NY all the way to Roger and Mary.  I've found some information and would be happy to share it with you.  I have a tree on MyHeritage also.

I have yet to find many primary source documents but believe I have the birth, death, marriage information correct via index items.  Also, I think I have found him in Griffith's Valuation 1854 with other Kelly's, Neville's, and Mooney's that are no doubt related.  I am currently working on it.

Blessings!

Audrey Yantz

I want to thank everyone who posted information to Graham.  You validated and added more information to what I've been able to locate on my own.  I am not sure how to post a new message in Ireland XO but will try to figure it out.  I plan to visit Ireland next year and would love to connect with any distant relative and visit the area.

I am also working on extending Roger and Mary forward in time and have traced Anne to the Neville family in Austrailia, which I hope is correct.

Blessings to all from Rochester, NY!  If this link is still active, I would love to share more information.

Hello Audrey

Glad this information was of help to you, if you are coming to Ireland next year post again before you come or email rahan@irelandxo.com and we will try to put you in touch with some of the families from Lynally etc

Geraldine

Geraldine, we definitely plan to finally visit Ireland this year, Covid permitting.  We are looking into Kensington and AAA Tours to get the best one.  Hoping for late summer, early fall.

If you can provide any help with areas or Irish family to visit, we would truly appreciate.  Just sent an email to you with my address.

Thank you!

Blessings, Audrey
