Is Áiligh an Irish Surname

[audbr]

Hi Can anybody help,
I have the following piece of information:

Siobhán Bn Uí  Áiligh (Jude Mháirtín Bheartln, Uaigh 196) agus a mac Pádraig, An t-Athair Pádraig Ó hÁiligh S. P. Carna.

Is Áiligh an Irish surname? I cannot find any records for it!

Many thanks in anticipation of your help

Regards
Brian

Well, the Irish looks authentic, but I don't know what the Anglicised version would be!
Awley? Ayley? ... Hayley?
I'll investigate ...

eadaoin

edit: Healy?

Hi eadaoin,
Thanks for your comment. It has been suggested to me that Áiligh is an Irish surname which has been Anglicised to Audley or Adley.

What I am trying to identify is: if the origin of the Audley Surname in Ireland is different from the origin in England. In England the Audley surname originates from the village of Audley in Staffordshire

I have tried to search for the surname Áiligh in websites such as familysearch and rootsireland, but get no results. I would have thought that if Áiligh was a surname there would be references to it in Parish Records.

Thanks for your help
Regards
Brian

Hi Conahy calling,
Thanks for the link to the list of Gaelic surnames: but I cannot see Áiligh anywhere on the list, am I missing something?

 Hi Brian
I did not find it on the link either. I just put up the link to show what Healy was in Irish.  Eadaoin had wondered if "Ailigh"  was possibly Healy. 
           
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grianan_of_Aileach     Could it be "ELY"?

Could it be Ely?

OH suggested CAWLEY.

Do you know when/where that burial was, or when Pádraig was Parish Priest in Carna?
