This 1843 marriage record from Drimoleague & Drinagh is that of a Connolly-Connolly marriage showing modifiers Gankey ("Gown-cook") and Brack on the names of the marital parties.
According to Burke, in the Clancahill Inquisition, the west Cork Connollys held lands in Munnane (Minane?); Lahanaght; Ballyvroig (?); and Kinglyny (?), which formed a portion of the manor of Castledonovan. And purportedly, they were of the same "race" as the O'Donovans.
Cork and Munster Connollys are distinct from the Clan Colla in the north and other Conley and Connolly clans elsewhere on the island.
