Mary Kelly (nee Mulloughney/Moloughney) : Short Biography

Mary Mulloughney/Moloughney was married by Rev William Kirwan to Cornelius Kelly who was born about 1810 most probably in Dualla, Tipperary, Ireland 
They married on the 6th of February 1834 in the Parish of Boherlahan Dualla
Witnesses to the marriage were Daniel D. Corcoran and Daniel Mahony

The Kelly family were of Roman Catholic denomination.

I haven't yet found her death.

The surname Mulloughney has many variations in spelling.
Mologhny/Molloughney/Mulloughney/Moloney/Maloney etc etc

This excerpt from Volume 1 "IRISH FAMILIES - Their Names, Arms, and
Origins” by Edward MacLysaght gives an outline of the background for the name MOLOUGHNEY.
"O'Molony (Maloughney), Molony or Moloney is O'Maoldhomhnaigh in Irish, which
denotes descendant of a servant of the Church. It is seldom if ever found to be with the original
prefix "O” though it is 100 percent Gaelic and no similar name is to be found in England.  Molony
is a Dalcassian Sept belonging to Kiltanon near Tulla in East Clare, where they are very
numerous today, though also found in equal numbers in the adjoining Counties of Limerick and
Tipperary. An interesting example of the vagaries of Irish nomenclature is afforded by this
name Molony. Some families in Northern County Tipperary now called Molony are not
O'Maoldhomhnaigh but O'Maolfhachtna which however is also in rare cases anglicized as Maloughney
thus giving the impression that it is a “Mac" and not an “O” name.”

Cornelius and Mary Kelly had 6 children

From Parish Register Baptisms

Margaret Alice Kelly
Baptised 10 Dec 1834, Dualla, Sponsors were Laurence Mockler and Judith Dwyer (vicc Judith Mulloughney) which I am told means "standing in for"  
So it seems that Judith Dwyer was standing in for Judith Mulloughney.

Alice's father's death may have been the reason for her migrating to Australia
some time in the early 1850s.  I have not yet found any information on her mother, Mary nee Moloughney, so I don't know where the younger boys lived between their fathers death and their migration to Australia in 1858.

Michael Kelly 
Baptised 18 Sep 1836, Dualla, Sponsors were Patrick Molloughney, Mary Mahony

He arrived in Australia in about 1897 only six months before his death of TB.
Did he go to South Africa directly from Ireland or, like his brothers, did he come to Australia first and then head to South Africa?
