in the village of kiltormer in the old graveyard , there is a headstone with pellys on it. no idea who is buried there. i think one of the men was a sergeant in the gardai . also there was a cardinal McIntyre who was from los angeles who came to kiltormer  in1954 . he visited his maternal grandfathers home, his grandfather was a john pelly.

there where also sellers in kiltormer as well. the lived in the townland of lisheenguile. don't know if they married or not. there where two houses of them across from each other. one house is gone but the shell of the other one i think is still there. they are buried in the old graveyard , but don't know if there are headstones. lisheenguile is 3 miles out side the village going towards killimor. you could look up irish genealogy for free searches you may find something
