Hi, I am trying to find information reg my GG grandfather Joseph Cooley. He married Rebecca McCullough in Old Monklands , Scotland in 1857. I know he had a brother James. I believe he was born in county Armagh Ireland in or about 1835.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
Yvonne

I am fairly new to exploring my family history, but I have disovered that my great grandmother (maternal side) was Elizabeth Cooley (1868 -1904)
Elizabeth's father was Nicholas Cooley (1832 - 1875)
Nicholas' father was Laurence (?) Cooley,
born ~1811? in Glenaneal, Galway, Tuam district
died ~ 1897??
I would be fascinated to learn more, if anyone can give me any pointers. Thank you, margi jackson?
