In the mid 1800s the name was heavily concentrated in Co. Armagh.

According to John Grenham-

That will is difficult to follow, isn’t it.

Here is the marriage of Bridget Vallely and Michael Smith

There are baptisms for:

Other children
Patrick - 11th September 1873
Mary Anne 3rd April 1878

You would think there would be others before James.

This family look good

Marriage 1884
Peter Vallely and Elizabeth Dillon

Son - Francis

Peter and Eliza Vallely - Heworth, Durham
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSHJ-FQP

So from these searches,
Bridget born abt 1840
Peter born about 1850

I saw a reference to a nephew, Terence, in the will, I think. Was there also a son, Terence mentioned?

Added - have had another look, I see Terence, son.

Ballymacnab RC parish baptisms for children of Francis Vallely and Anne Rocks of Cladymore include Terence in 1827, Catherine in 1830, Bridget in 1836, John in 1839, Francis in 1843, and Peter in 1849. I can't yet see a marriage record for Francis and Anne online, I doubt if it would offer up any leads to take you further back anyway.

One of the townlands bordering Clady More in Kilclooney parish is Corran in Lisnadill parish, the following links to transcriptions from the relevant Tithe Applotment Books show entries for: 'Vallely, Barthw.' and 'Vallely, Bernard' in Corran (1832), as well as other Vallelys and Rocks in these parishes:

With the caveat that there are just so many Vallelys on the ground in that area back then, here's a marriage 'maybe', John Vallely to Mary Anne Cosgrove in 1870:

Just also be aware that the Ballymacnab RC parish registers show, contemporary to Francis Vallely and Anne Rocks of 'Cladymore' having children baptised, a Francis Vallely and Ann Burk of 'Cladymore' had a number of children baptised: Patrick in 1827, Peter in 1829, Mary in 1832 and Ann in 1836.

Hi I am researching my husband's family who come from Cladymore. His great grandfather was John Vallely born in about 1846. He married Anne Rocks on 28th April 1874 and they had 7 children who reached adulthood Mary Anne 1875, Rose 1877, Patrick 1879 all born in Cladymore. Margaret 1886, Ellen 1889, Catherine 1891 all born in Co Durham, England and John 1898 born in Cladymore. The things I am trying to find out are
When did John born about 1846 die?
When did Anne die (born about 1855)?
Who was John's mother? (His father was Bernard Vallely 1807-1872 from Cladymore)
Who is Anne Rocks mother? (Her father was Edward Rocks 1819-1892?)
I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.
