    Killeely is the home of my ancestors. It is situated east of the village of Kilcolgan and it is in the parish of Clarinbridge.There is an old graveyard south-east of the village in which there is the remains of an old Church.It is supposed that this church was founded by St.Fiola who was a sister of St.Colga that founded a church near Kilcolgan.From this the village derived its name Cill Faoighle which in English means "Killeely."Heard from Michael Murphy,Killeely.Age about 74 years.
