Michael Conway born April 1836 in Londonderry and died in Port carbon Schuylkill county Pennsylvania. Married Annie Bradley born around the same time. Her father was John and her mother may have been Mary MORAN, but that is just a theory. Lisa

Lisa,
The name Michael Conway is pretty common in Co. Londonderry. In the 1901 census there were 8 Michael Conways in the county. A similar number in the 1831 census. You really need to try and find Michael’s parents names from his death certificate or perhaps a naturalisation application, to be sure of locating the right family.
You don’t say where Michael and Annie married but if it was in Ireland I don’t see a suitable marriage in the on-line records.
You have posted this in Ballynascreen parish. If you have information that this is where Michael is from, the RC baptism and marriage records cover the following years:
Ballinascreen (Draperstown) (Derry diocese)
Baptisms, 1836 and 1846-81; marriages, 1834-85;
funerals, 1831-2 and 1848-51.RC records are mostly on-line on the nli site:

The 1831 census of Ballynascreen has 31 Conway & 209 Bradley households (25 of whom were headed by men named John Bradley).

Thank you. I will try And because the name is so common it's pretty tough. I've also seen Michael Conway marrying Nancy Bradley and in a tree that I have DNA with they had Nancy "Annie " Bradley now I wonder if it's not wrong. And the person did not respond to my emails but thank you so much
