Neary Family of Tawnagh Beg Co Mayo

[Pukeen]

I am looking for any information on the Neary Family from Tawnagh Beg, Straide area of Co Mayo.
My gr grandfather was Patrick born 1842 married to Mary McAndrew(I believe)  They had at least 2 children  Mary Anne, and Martin.  Mary Anne married my grandfather James Leo Harkins from Scotland, Martin married Mary Heneghan.  The only records of any of these people that I can come up with is my grandfather James Leo.
Does anyone have any info?

If Mary McAndrew was the mother here's 3 more children listed in IGI (which I suggested checking in your other post yesterday):
1. Biddy born 4 Feb.1874 Balla, Mayo
2. Catherine born 24 Dec.1875 Co.Mayo
3. Patt (son) born 3 May 1878 Tavnaghbeg, Mayo

I am pretty certain there weren't any other children. 
I did go on the IGI website but wasn't able to find any of the people I was looking for. 
Did I breech protocol?  Am I supposed to put a link to another posting if I am changing information?

The problem with different postings about the same people is that one person might look for information on the 1st post and then another person look for the same information on another post which causes unnecesary work and confusion.
The 3 children from IGI record are children of Pat Narey and Mary McAndrew so if Mary McAndrew is the name of your Mary Anne and Martin they would surely be siblings. Perhaps they died young. Irish births (1864-c1880) on IGI possibly aren't recent enough to include Mary Anne and Martin.
LDS have microfilmed records from Templemore Parish, Co. Mayo but when I checked the details it's marriages 1872-1880 with no mention of baptisms.

That makes a lot more sense.  I couldn't figure out why they would have records for people I have never heard of and no records for the names I knew.
Can you tell me the process you went thru to get the other 3 names?

Go to www.familysearch.org (LDS site), click search tab and when that screen comes up put in only father's first name and surname and then mother's first name with or without surname then click search button.
If too many results come up you can do it slightly differently:
on same search page as above click on IGI (on left) and another page comes up (will search only IGI entries but here you can enter a country or county). Put in parents' names the same way but select 'British Isles' 'Ireland' 'Mayo' and there will be fewer choices but hopefully more focused.

Excellent!  Thank you.  I will try a few others.

Easy to do when you know how. Forgot to mention that sometimes it helps to leave out mother's maiden name in case the name you already have is not corrent or its transcribed wrong.
