I know that this is a long shot but here goes
I was told that my family came to county wicklow from clare in the late 1700 early 1800
Their name was Healy/Heiley
The Man in question was a magistrate who fell out with his family when he married a catholic girl
His name might have been Francis...
Thats a lot of mights and maybes in a family story but as a long shot anyone ever hear of it
