To answer Judy Christopher about Voter lists, When I was at the National Archives in Dublin several years ago, I found a "Copy of the Register so far as relates to the Barony of Moycullen Of Persons entitled to vote at any Election of a Member or Members of Parliament for the County of Galway, between the 30th day of November, 1856 and First day of December, 1857". I found it by accident as I had requested some estate records and the Register was in a big box of papers that were brought out. I looked at all the papers that were in the box and found it.. I don't know if it was listed in any index at the Archives such that it could be easily found. I was very interested in this rergister as it contained the names of two my great great grandfathers as voters. I didn't know that ordinary farmers could vote at that time. There are 184 persons on this list but there are no Mitchells. Patricia Concannon
