As I mentioned earlier, there are several snippets re Charles Malley, Cong Abbey and bankruptcy /insolvency 1861.

The Griffiths Valuation record I posted earlier shows ‘House, Mill, Stores’ and another ‘Land’ for Charles Malley, Creggaree.

You mention ‘Cong, Castlebar’. These are different places. Ashford Castle is Cong which was purchased by a Guinness member, see Maiden Stone’s post


Cong and Castlebar are about 20 miles apart.

Cong is in Ballinrobe Superintendent Registrar's District for births, marriages and deaths. Ballinrobe town is a few miles north, on the way to Castlebar. Select Cong from list of civil parishes   to see a list of townlands in Cong civil parish.

Towns and villages in Mayo. Several pages of information for each.

It says under "Cong Abbey" in the section on Cong that Sir Bernard Guinness began rebuilding the abbey in 1860.
