Hi Barbara, Am most interested in the Civil Parish of Inishcaltra, near Mountshannon. Regards, Jim McNamara Searching Surnames: McNamara-McGrath-Corbett, Cleary-Conway Hanna(h)-Davis-Thompson-Cain-Waugh-McCormick-Brady-Denk-Lostetter In a message dated 6/21/05 8:01:02 AM Pacific Daylight Time, IRL-GALWAY-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: Which Civil parish in Galway is of the most interest to the greatest number of subscribers to this mail list? I'm interested in: Whelan from Kinvaradoorus (Winifred, Nora *Honora*, Delia) Peter Walsh, Galway (came through Ellis Island around 1910), brother followed in a couple years, and they married Whelan sisters from Kinvaradoorus and settled in Stamford Ct. Thank you. Barbara Walsh

I, too, am researching the Norton (Naughton) family. My grandfather was John Robert Norton, who migrated from Ireland to Boston in 1887 but ultimately ended up in NYC. He is said to have lived near a "British barracks" in Galway City. Census and other records reveal birth dates ranging from 1862 to 1866, but I know little about his background and cannot find him on LDS passenger lists. Pat Baltimore, MD

Moor Park, Lissa Valley. NESBITT Margaret b March 1888, parents: Samuel and Susan. She married William Jupp 1907 Portsmouth. They went to Canada. After he died, she married John Kayes 1914. She died 1976 Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada. Joy

Kilcloony parish (Ballinasloe) - Mathews/Matthews and Kimple/Kemple Also Loughrea parish - Mathews/Matthews My Galway ancestors Ross Mathews and Catherine Kimple were married in the Catholic parish of Ballinasloe in 1830, and their children Bridget and Ross were born there. I guess Ballinasloe would have been Catherine's parish. On the other hand, I suspect the Mathews family might have been from Loughrea, though I can't confirm the connection. Catherine and Bridget sailed for Liverpool, England, some time during the famine years. I have no idea what happen to the two Ross's. Stephen

Ballyglunin - Tuam Family: FARRINGTON but family stories say it might have been FARRAHER Two brothers married two sisters: Michael FARRINGTON married Delia (Bridget ?) RABBIT and had a son Patrick James, a daughter Julia, and a son James. There might have been others including a brother who went to Australia. Thomas FARRINGTON married Julia RABBIT and had sons Patrick, Daniel, and Thomas; perhaps there were others. Both Patricks came to MA and settled in Canton. Daniel and Thomas also came to MA and settled in the Watertown, Newton, Waverly areas. My cousin and I are searching for information about any of these, especially those in Ireland. Mary-Sue

Moycullen Parish Townland of Lippa near Spiddal/Spiddle. COSTELLO - James and Anne (Malia) moved here from Galway Town with their daughter Margaret. Another daughter, Bridget (Delia) was born here in 1870. I would love to know where James and Anne are buried. I have been unable to locate any death records for either. Both daughters came to America and there were no other children to my knowledge. I am also puzzled as to why the family moved to Lippa. Relatives, job, etc. There are many Costello names in the area.

Rahoon Parish of Galway Town. Specifically, Henry Street. COSTELLO - Margaret b. 1866 to James Costello and Anne Malia/Melia/Malley. Her father James was born in the same house to Edward Costello and Jane Daly. The Costello families lived in #2 Henry Street. The Malley family lived in #4 Henry St. There is a good chance that both are my lines. I have visited Henry St. Does anyone know if the houses are numbered the same now as they were in the mid 1800s?
