ArchivesRe: Gilhuly?
in reply to a message by Jim Young
From my Irish name book ...
Gilhooley, Gilooley: moderate numbers particularly in Leitrim, etc. In Irish Mac Giolla Ghuala (guala, a glutton). A sept of Leitrim-Roscommon, related to O'Mulvey. An Irish version of Mac Giolla Shúligh appears in the Annal of Lock Cé, but Woulfe considers it a corruption.
