Both Scotland's people and FamilySearch have her surname as "Maceril"

Hello -

I would read that as Macevil, a variant of McEvilly which is not uncommon in County Mayo.

Upon reading craggagh's post - I revise my think, and agree, Macevil!

BUT, whether Maceril or Macevil the only occurrence I can find of that name is a 1784 marriage indexed on FindMyPast as  Macevil and on ancestry as Maceril
