Notes: 

The Dalys and Valins (Vallence) are my ancestors.  I've done extensive research about them here in the US and also in Ireland.  I've been to this cemetery numerous times.  It is easy to misread the names on these graves - this grave is one of the oldest in the cemetery.  I am sure that Mary's last name was Daly (Dealy).  If you look a little closer you can see it is a D and not an H. 

Thank you Sarah and others for all the work on this very helpful site!
