Does anyone have any information on the Farrell's from Moate or Motte Farrell? My father is Michael Farrell his sister is Selina (she became a nun, sister Mary Oliver). The local church was in Clonbrony and they had a farm (small holding of about 16 acres). Bernard Farrell married a Mary Ann Dunigan (unsure of this spelling)they went to America in the late 20's early 30's but I beleive they returned to Ireland mid 1930's sadly they died in cica 1935 so Michael & Selina were raised by Bernard's brother Patrick & his sister Bridget, neither of whom married. I beleive their is another brother but I am unsure of his name.
They were related to the Feeleys or Fenney's (again unsure of spelling sorry).
Look forward to ay help or assistance anyone can provide.
