Looking for information about my Great-great-great grandparents: Thomas Coyne and Mary (Flynn) Coyne of Williamstown, County Galway. They had 3 daughters: Maria (Coyne) Lacy born August 15, 1831 who emigrated to the United States circa 1854 with her husband, Patrick Lacy of County Kerry.
Other daughters: Ann Coyne Cochlan and a daughter listed as Mrs (Coyne) Sullivan.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Jolly
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
What sources have you already tried? Records for Templetoghter begin in 1856 so the parish records may start too late for your search. Was Mary from Williamstown, I wonder? The couple would have married in the bride's home parish.
As an aside, Williamstown has a very active heritage society if you wanted to have a look at their website:

These are the online records for Kerry and Patrick Lacy, he and Mary are not recorded as having married in Kerry nor do the records show any baptisms of a Flynn/Coyne/Lacy baby. These records are not complete but simply the surviving records. So at this stage it seems likely that Galway is your best bet.
Warm wishes
