    Please would you have a look at the following and tell me what you think Mary's surname is. I do not know how to put the image on here, or even if it is possible! I have been looking at the records made available by the National Library of Ireland-registers.nli.ie
    Parish:- Kilbroney.
    Baptism-4th April 1836. Matthew son to Michael Feran and Mary ?????
    Marriage- 8th September 1831 Matthew Feran was married to Mary ??????
    Thank you to anyone who looks.

    Looking at the Baptism record, I notice that the sponsors (Godparents) include James FEENAN and Susan {same name as mother}... ?HUTTY - where the letter preceding "H" is indeterminate, but looks quite like "I".
    Interestingly, the bride's surname doesn't have the cross-strokes, so that the surname looks more like IHULLY.

    It's not impossible that what I am interpreting as two separate letters is actually a single one: K. That would (in my opinion) make the most likely surname KULLY.

      I think its a K because there is a fairly obvious H on the page but either Keelly/Kelly or Kully

        For the same reasons as Vera, I think it's an initial K but think the surname is Keelty.
        I did a bit of googling and Keelty and assorted variants such as Kielty seems to have been a reasonably common name in the parish. See for example Ros Davies's County Down website surnames http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....S/K/KibKim.htm
        If you Google Keelty Kilbroney you should get a Griffith Valuation result showing several Keeltys.

            I would say that is a ty at the end as Karamazov has suggested. Looks like Keilty to me

              Thank you all. I will look for more examples, but at the moment it looks like Keilty.
