Hi all,
I have been attempting to research my Irish 3x ggf, John Curley, born in Tuam, Galway in abt. 1856 and have hit a brick wall as to his life before he emigrated to England at some point before 1874, (birth of his first child). He married Catharine Roach(e) (born in abt. 1855 in Liverpool to Irish parents Richard (b. abt 1826) and Catherine MNU (b. abt 1824)), and they had eleven children. I have traced him, his children, his wife and his wife's parents/siblings around England but I can't find anything about John, or Catharine's parents, before they emigrated... I was wondering if anyone could help me?
(Once in England, I think some Curleys changed their name to Corless and back, it all seems quite complicated...)
It is the family researched in this rather old post:

Thank you in advance for your time and research:)

PS: There is a vague idea of America in family lore around this branch, also said by the author of the post I pasted, could this be a possibility?
