Hello listers: I thought I'd post my interests and dates, and see if anyone had any comments and suggestions. John GREEN and Mary WALLACE were married 9 September 9 1850 in Leigh, Lancashire at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. The church records state they were both from Tuam, Galway. The civil certificate states John's father was Patrick GREEN and Mary's father was William WALLACE. John and Mary had the following known children: John born 2 Mar 1852 (died before 1862) Margaret born 22 May 1853 (died before 1867) Mary born 12 Aug 1857 (my gggrandmother) John born 3 June 1862 Margaret born 11 Jan 1867 I cannot locate them with any certainty on the 1851 UK Census. I have ordered some church records from Tuam, and will be going through those next week at the Family History Centre here in my town. Thanks, Susan Canada
Hi Tim, There is no record in Griffiths' for a Patrick GREEN in Tuam, in fact there is only Patrick GREEN living in Galway and his is listed as living in the Parish of Rahoon Co.Galway. There is a GREEN living in TUAM at the time of the Valuations 1848-64, James GREEN, living in the Townland of Carracloon, in the Parish of Tuam. In fact there are only 3 GREEN's living in Co. Galway at this time. (Could it possibly be that his father was Christened as James Patrick, known as Patrick?). This might account for him saying he was from Tuam? I have only one WALLACE, James living on the Galway Road, in the Parish of Tuam, Co. Galway. There are only 5 William WALLACE'S living in Co. Galway at the time of the Valuations. 1 in (Parishes only, although I do have the Townlands), Ballynakill, Belclare, Inishmore, Killower and in St. Nicholas' in Galway Town. Of course these only apply if their families stayed in Galway during the period 1848-64 for the time of the valuations. If they had also moved over to the UK, these of course wouldn't apply! slan Cyril Newsome Loch Garman... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walter Josephy" <walterjosephy@shaw.ca> To: <IRISH-IN-UK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 4:51 PM Subject: [UK-Irish] GREEN and WALLACE of Tuam, Galway to Leigh, Lancs > Hello listers: > I thought I'd post my interests and dates, and see if anyone had any > comments and suggestions. > > John GREEN and Mary WALLACE were married 9 September 9 1850 in Leigh, > Lancashire at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.
