I am researching Gallaghers of Co. Cork. I recently came across another member of my extended family. Is anyone researching this family from Doneraile, Cork? Thomas Gallagher m. Mary Ann Leary/O'LearyI about 1863, probably in Co. Cork. They raised their family in Rossa/Rossagh East, Doneraile, Cork. Their children are as follows: 1. Ellen Gallagher Jan. 2, 1864, Doneraile 2. (Possible) Thomas born in 1865 2. John Gallagher Aug 8, 1866, Doneraile 3. Arthur Gallagher Apr. 26, 1868 2. Michael Gallagher 9-10-1872 1. Mary Anne Gallagher April 11, 1875 2. Maurice Galiher born 1877; died 2-4-1878 in Rossa, Doneraile
Gallagher is a name normally associated with County Donegal not County Cork. However in North Cork /County Limerick (i.e. near to Doneraile) there is a name Gallahue. This name is very scarce. It is often changed to Gallagher. You should keep both names in mind in your researches. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Kenney Fortado Sent: 09 June 2009 00:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Gallagher-O'Leary/Leary I am researching Gallaghers of Co.
