Hello all, Searching for any information re: Mary (Ann) Flaherty born Galway around 1871, daughter of John Flaherty and Julia Kelly. She left Ireland for the US about 1886 (don't know if she was accompanied by her parents) and settled in RI. I know it's a long shot because the names are SO common but any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked out the "Quarterly returns of births in Ireland, 1864-1955, with index to births, 1864-1921" available from the FHL? The 1871 index of births is film 101048, 1870 is 101047, and 1872 is 101049. Granted there will most likely be more than one Mary Flaherty born each quarter, but you will know where to look in the actual civil registration films. If my email doesn't make sense, please email me and I'll do a more detailed explanation.

Hi, I am searching for an Annie Killmartin (sp?) who married a Kelly and then later a Martin. She would have been born before 1850 in Co. Galway. Carol

Hi All, I am looking for information on Thomas Tobin of Galway County, Ireland. I have been told he lived in Ballyglass. He married Bridget Nee (or Mee) and had 6 children that I know of. John who continued to live in Ballyglass. Michael who moved to Wales. Delia, my grandmother born 1877. Sarah born 1886. Patrick born 1882. And Katie born 1892. The last four all came to the US and married here. If anyone has any information on any of these people, please let me hear from you. Thanks Don Howe

I have added the following new databases to my website: County Mayo section - Templemore Civil Parish 1833 Tithe Applotments; County Galway - 1796 Flax Growers for County Galway, Oranmore Parish, Menlough cemetery inscriptions. You can find these by going to the URL below my name. On my hompage, at the top under Ireland, you will find links to both County Galway and County Mayo webpages. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton AV2005

Hi Bob, <I am trying to find out where in Galway this place is. I found family records that say that they were living in Corrabun. Is there such a place.> There appear to be several choices. Townland Barony Civil Parish PLU Carrowbaun Dunmore Dunmore Tuam Carrowbaun Dunmore Tuam Tuam Carrowbaun Loughrea Lickerrig Loughrea Carrowbaun Ross Cong Oughterard Carrowbaun East Kiltartan Kiltartan Gort Carrowbaun West Kiltartan Kiltartan Gort Plus there were others that still could be the correct townland. What timeframe are you looking at? What surname are you looking for? Maybe we can help pinpoint the correct choice. Sue

Or Ross Island??? Does anything like this exist in County Galway? david

Civil Parishes - you'll find different lists of these. There are a number of resources to find the names of Civil Parishes in any county - the first for all of you will be the Sean Ruad IRL-Atlas hosted on the Roscommon-Leitrim web site. The parishes listed in that are as the parishes were named and spelled officially in 1841.............at least I think it was 1841 - it is, if the on-line database comes from the 'General Alphabetical Index To the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland' 1851......... Then, or, before that time, we have the Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published 1837 in which Lewis names the parishes and then perhaps speaks of a 'Union' that the Church of Ireland parish was part of - he also speaks of the Roman Catholic parishes and any unions involved there - and this is where Lewis is most handy - he can be describing a Civil parish and he will tell us the name of the Roman Catholic parish for that civil parish. When he says that a parish is 'co-extensive' with the Established Church - then he means that all the townlands in the R.C. parish are the same as those of the Church of Ireland parish. He also tells us whether there were Methodist or Presbyterian Meeting Houses in those parishes and usually names the town/village that any such meeting house was in. Same for Society of Friends or Quakers. Then, 185/1889 gives us a series of booklets published by the General Registrars Office in Dublin - this lists all the townlands in the various places that made up each Civil Registration District in Ireland - the Civil Registration Districts were the Poor Law Unions. Now, Civil Registration Disctricts come with all their own different, each one can take in more than one county, each has it's 'sub-districts' - the sub districts are divided up depending on the civil parishes that are part of each sub-district. One parish can be covered by a number of 'sub-districts'. Don't let all of that confuse you - because these sub-districts or District Electoral Divisions only have any importance when you are searching for census information - that is the 1901 or 1911 census. After that, we have the Genealogical Atlas of Ireland..............and the parishes as named in this are not the same as those listed in Lewis in 1837 - the spellings of parishes that are listed don't always co-incide with the earlier spelings either The main point that I want to try and get across here, is that a civil parish that existed in 1820 may not have existed in 1841 - you won't find it mentioned in the Irl-Atlas.............you won't find it anywhere else. A civil parish that existed in 1841 may not have been in existace in 1885.............you'll find no mention of it anywhere. The name of any civil parish in 1820 - well, that might be spelled differently in 1841 - it may be spelled more differently in 1885. Check Lewis to find out the name of Catholic parishes - for all records, when you can't find anything for the parish that you are interested in - then always check the parishes that were around it.

Judy, The timing and names you are looking for do not match anything I am aware of in my family history. However, while searching my family records in Dublin at the Church of Irelands library I noted information on Mitchell and Bingham entries that had no relationship to my search, but that might prove useful in the future. If your lucky, perhaps on of these records is your future, or in this case your past. These records come from the entries in the parochial Registers of Omey/Ballinakill/Moyrus Union of Parishes County Galway. George Mitchell of the County Police stationed at Clifden married Julia O' Rorke of the same place on November 24th, 1828, in Ballinakill Parish Church. John Mitchell of Clifden married Mary Geraghty of Clifden on July 4th, 1843 (Ballinakill) Witnessed by ? Gallagher and Julia Mitchell. Henry Mitchell, born Clifden on July 27th, 1844, son of John & Mary Mitchell. Mary Anne Mitchell, born Clifden on February 4th, 1846, daughter of John & Mary Mitchell. George Mitchell of Clifden, died August 23rd, 1856. (Ballinakill Parish) Julia Mitchell of Clifden, died April 6th, 1884. (Ballinakill Parish) George Bingham, born Roundstone on February 16th, 1886, to George & Emily Bingham of Roundstone. Violet Maude Bingham, born June 26th, 1886, daughter to George & Julia Bingham of Clifden. Harold Juisden Bingham, born September 11th, 1892, son to George & Julia Bingham of Clifden. George William Bingham of Clifden, married Catherine Eliza Redman of Roundstone, on September 26th, 1899, in Roundstone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "judy christopher" <ajuntas@rcn.com> To: "pslk" <pslk@rogers.com>; <IRL-GALWAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [GALWAY] Searching for Mitchell and D'Arcy > I am also seeking Mitchell from Galway.

Hi, I don't know who Madeline was related to, but she may have had a sister Clothilde. Can you tell me what you know about Clothilde? and/or her family? My great-grandmother was from Clifden or that area of Galway. In an old notebook was written many names and one was Madeline D'Arcy. I don't know if these people were friends or family. My great-grandmother, Delia Lynch, came to the US about 1882. I would like to hear more about Clothilde. Thanks, Carol
