I am researching Anna Little (littlefield) marriage to John (O'Riley) Reilly (DOB 13 FEB 1818) Lavey Parish, Cavan between 1840 - 1846.
Seeking lead on marriage record with Anna Little (DOB 1820) in County Cavan(?) circa 1840-1848.
John O'Riley/Reilly is rumored to be the son of Philip Reilly (O'Riley) DOB 1797 and Honora Higgins (1797-1880), born in Ireland.
John O'Riley had brothers Matthew and Patrick. They all lived in Troy, Rennselear County, New York, USA in 1845-1849.
I have been unable to confirm the information on anyone before 1843 except for John O'Riley and Anna Little in the US
Relatives lead is an un-cited transcript from Cavan Cathedral record review: John Rielly, Drumdummonn Parish, Cavan, Ireland - Cartron free Ann Little, Crosserlough, Kiffagh Parish, Cavan, Ireland or Ann Little, Drumgoon Parish, Munndly T Cootehill, Ireland.
John (29) & Ann (27) arrived in Boston on the ship Columbus, Manifest 13121 from Liverpool, England with John’s brother Michael on 03 JUL 1848 as Anna Riley, with correct DOB & traveling with John O'Riley.
I am missing the link to Ireland to either John's birth parents(unknown) or Anna's birth parents ( Patrick Little/Littlefield(?) and Margaret/Mattie Cusack(?)).
Unfortunately, the oldest living relative has passed and the records are in the wind.

William,
The church baptismal and marriage records for the RC parish of Lavey begin in 1867, so John's and Anna's baptismal/marriage records are unavailable.
Regards,
Carolyn
