EDWARD MCHALE born circa 1817 associated with Backs Parish as son Peter was baptised in Toneybane R.C. Church, Knockmore, Backs Parish, Co. Mayo in 1844 – record names parents as Ned McHale and Margaret McNulty.
Parents of Edward McHale not known but he had siblings named Bridget, Peter, John and Owen, plus Kitty/Catherine McHale may also have been an elder sibling or his mother.
The extended McHale family named above left Ireland between 1844 and 1845 and settled in Wrexham, then part of Denbighshire, North Wales, where they joined Margaret McNulty’s parents and siblings who had settled there a couple of years earlier. Six further children were born in Wrexham to Edward McHale and Margaret McNulty, and descendants still live in the Wrexham area today. Edward and his brothers were Shoemakers.
Would love to connect with any researchers who think that they are related to the above.

Welcome again
I have just replied to your McNulty query HERE
Peter's baptism seems to be the only one available according to a rootsireland.ie search - 3rd Nov 1844 in Knockmore/Backs parish.
Baptisms there begin in 1825 and marriages in 1815 and there are gaps in the 1860s. The couple (Ned and Margaret) will have likely married in Aglish (Margaret's home parish) as was the tradition and while records there begin in June 1824 for marriages there doesn't seem to be any record of the event there in a search ten years prior of Peter's birth using rootsireland.ie or ancestry.com
