Welcome to Rootschat :) You do need to provide more detail (especially if you'd like help finding information on these families).
Here's the correct link to Irish census- http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
If you put in Conn*y into surname box, select Galway as the county then click on the search box you get variations such as Conneoly, Conneley, Connaly, Connley, Connoley, Connelley, etc.

Thanks for all the prompt replies, I`m obviously a novice at this
My Greatgrandparents Michael Conneely married Bridget Corbett 1867 in Cornamona
My Grandfather Pat Conneely Married Mary Coyne 1902
Conneely ( Connolly ) from Letterbrickaun Ballinakill
Corbett from Clonbur / Cong and Coyne from Glanglosh in Maam.
I think the info above is 98% correct

You can view civil records online just to be 100 % sure (eventually all will be added to site) -

I have walked out the bog to letterbreckaun a number of times ( a beautiful but desolate spot under the mountain ) but the residence for Mary Coyne is given as Glanglosh which i cannot find on any map or placenames for Galway. I have found a Census record for Thomas Coyne Gowlanlee ( which is over the mountain from Letterbreckaun towards Maumean ) This seems to be reasonably correct especially 1911 which records a Grandson aged 7 and Patrick Conneely`s Census only has 4 of 5 children living on his Census form.
Any comments or ideas welcome and thanks again for the help so far.

There is a river south of Leenane that is shown on old maps named the Glenglosh River and the general area the Glenglosh valley
It is about half way between Leenane and Letterbrickaun LINK (http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html) to osi.ie maps
If you have to search again use Glenlosh
There are holiday cottages there and seem to be the only ones using the address
On the left of the screen you can change the map by clicking on Base Information and Mapping
This gives a list of options - choose 6 inch Cassini and zoom in to river
If you stay on current map the river's name is given only in Irish Abhainn Bhéal Átha na mBreac

Thanks for that it certainly looks like Gowlanlee in the Census is in this general area

Just saw this post. The Glenlosh valley comprises of a number of Townlands. Townlands in this general and the surrounding area are Knockaunbawn Poundcartron , Gowlaunlee, Derreen, Bunnaviskaun.
The townland of Derreen is now a wood on the left of the Maam /Leenane road. The population in this area has seen a huge declined over the years with many of the houses now vacant. The local church is Kilmilkin with the priest living in Leenane where church records would have been recorded.
