6/2/2023 0 Comments Galway Bay by Mary Pat KellyThe surname Codyre in Galway is not common. Because the parish records begin in 1819, it seems that information about most families prior to that date do not exist unless a family has kept a bible record or family history. While there are Mulloy families under various spellings in several Galway townlands in the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith's Valuation Survey, the Coydre family appears to be from Mincloon. I have looked at all Irish records available on Ancestry and Ask About Ireland. Assuming Bridget Codyre was 21 years old when she married, she would have been born about 1815. The cemetery record for Patrick Mulloy indicates he was born about 1805. The entire family is buried at Calvary Cemetery, Nashville. The family migrated to the United States about 1855 and are listed in the 1860 census records for Nashville, Tennessee. I have the parish marriage record and the bapism records of their children: Patrick, Bridget (Mary), Sarah, Martin, and Judith (Julia). Patrick Mulloy and Bridget Codyre married in 1836. I have researched both of these families (my ancestors) back to Rahoon Parish Galway.
