Re: Brodericks/Wall/Coyne/Moran You seem to have so much information that it's surprising you don't have a more precise location in Galway. If you haven't already done so,you should conduct a search in Griffiths . You are looking for those names to occur in close proximity,so you need townland maps to work from,as well as a general Galway civil parish map. The easiest way is to log on to _www.otherdays_ (http://www.otherdays) .com and pay for a 72 hour search for about 8 euro/dollars. Best bargain around! Run all four SURNAMES through a Galway search. Don't bother too much with first names,as you don't know which one would be listed as head of household. Print off the list of locations for each surname.Then you can start to cross check. Most couples married within a 3 mile radius.This would frequently cross a parish boundary,which is why a map is so important. You have 4 known surnames,which should narrow things considerably. For example- I took the first parish,Abbeygormacan,and found 3 of the 4 names there. Do this with each parish. Hopefully ,at least one parish will have all 4 names within it.They don't necessarily have to be in the same townland at this point. If you don't find a parish with all 4 names, then go back to the ones with 3 matches,and check if the fourth name occurs in a neighbouring parish. At the end of the exercise,you should have a list of the most likely parishes. Parish records in Galway are poor,so don't expect to find the births/marriages in the parish records.However,once you have a likely location,you have something to base your further searches on. Cathy
