You don't have any dates for the family
Here are the McEvillys (Ballintober is near Castlebar) listed in the Tithe Applotments 1823-1837

McEvilly's in Mayo on Griffiths Valuations 1850's

This is a great site because you can search the maps to locate the town/village of origin.
You could search parishes like Aglish (Castlebar),.Touaghty (Ballintubber), Ballyhean, (these are all near Castlebar). -Kilgeever is in Westport, which is 14kms away, so probably not your family)
McEvillys in Mayo in 1901 Census (you can search 1911 census too)

McEvillys on Irish Graveyards.ie: (here you could check, Carnacon, Breaffy, and Ballintubber.)

Castlebar has its own website, you could post a query on the Roots or Nostalgia Forum
Best of Luck with your research
