Croly, David. (Death). Of the Irish Nation, aged 50 years or thereabouts, died yesterday at the home of the honourable lady Michelle Gilbert, hostess of the city. Present Master Edmond Lorcan, pre (I think this means pretre = priest), Denys Macarty and Danile Macarty, relations and friends, of the Irish Nation. 1693 10th Sept.
Croly (Crouly), (Marriage) David, Doctor, son of the late Daniel Croly and Marguerite Blanche (White?), his wife; of the parish of Killbritain (spelt d’Hill britaine), Diocese of Ross (spelt Voste or Roste) in Ireland; married to Dame Catherine Tobin, widow of Jacques Scilton, a colonel in the Army of England, of the parish of Killacour, Diocese of Keuilminy*, also in Ireland. Both at present of this parish. 1692 20th Oct.

*There is no Diocese in Ireland called Keuilminy (Kilminey?) The best I have come up with is parish of Kilkerranmore, part of the RC parish for this being in Kilmeen. The above would have been written down by a French priest who probably understood no English and was probably having great difficulty understanding a broad Irish accent or indeed Irish. If anyone can throw any further light on a possible Parish or Diocese, I would be very grateful!
