Their children included James, John, Patrick, Rose Ann, Mary Ann. Several of their kids stayed in Ireland while others, including my ggrandfather James, came to America. James settled in Jersey City NJ and died about 1926. At some point in the 1700's, the Gallagher family owned approximately 200 acres in or around Cornaleck and Mullaghycullen.

I have just started to search for my wives family her maiden name was KEEGAN. Her grandfather was James KEEGAN who was a miner and died in a pit accident in Scotland in 1935. He was 57 which means he was born about 1878.His father was John KEEGAN , mother Mary KEEGAN nee FLYNN. They were both dead in 1935. I belive they came from County Leitrim. I have no further information and wondered if this rang any bells with any list members. Regards Paul KILLICK.

Your information was very helpful. I never knew what William P.'s middle name was, and I wasn't sure whether Elizabeth Cline was the daughter of Hugh or not. I may contact you directly to get details of your sources, if that's okay. You wouldn't know the location of the estate in Leitrim where Hugh Cline worked, would you? Thanks again

His wife was Ann O'Roark (Rork, etc), born 1814 in Leitrim, Cloone Parish, and died 1885. She had sibs, Ellen and Thomas. Both older, both also died in Canada. That would make your Mary's death 27 years after his, and he was 80 when he died. So, possible, but not probable. If you learn more about Mary's brother Patrick, let me know. If I find out more about my Patrick, I will post it, also. Good Luck, Margo

my first 12 markers are back and they show some unexpected stuff. this isnt much until the other 2 variant names have their results. but if they follow the same pattern as mine do this could get very interesting. If you have that brick wall this will give you direction to look i was connected to 16 people of similar markers.now i have a better idea of what is ahead. but one line doesnt do much the more of you that join will create trees with branches and even leaves. lol http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Denning&variants on thing is showing up is the scot british books that say we are the dirived from DUNNING seem incorrect.

Can anyone answer the same question about Lowell, which is only 30 miles away? Thanks in advance. Anne

Jim - I too read the Chelsea and St. Rose history - when the St. Rose parish was just started, and mass was said in the cottage.... Our people, the Muldowneys, actually came from Co. Roscommon. However, the northeastern part - a stone's throw from Carrick-on-Shannon, which was their market-town and poor law union, and in later times, where they would register their births, deaths and marriages. John MULDOWNEY arrived in Boston about 1849, and married Bridget McGEE in Chelsea in 1850... not sure where she was from, but possibily Roscommon. John d. in Providence. His cousin, John MULDOWNEY, of Roscommon, married Bridget McLOUGHLIN in Roscommon, and settled in Chelsea. John d. in Boston. One of their marriage witnesses was a John McGEE. That second John had a brother, Thomas MULDOWNEY - he married in Chelsea in 1849, Catherine FARMER. She came from Leitrim. Thomas d. in Brookline. A Michael McGEE lived with Thomas and Catherine in 1850. Loree Muldowney Palm Desert CA <<...But why Chelsea? It defiantly sounds like this was the intended destination. Now since I started this I also realize that most of Chelsea Irish are from Leitrim, Sligo, > Carvan, Longford and Meath, With Leitrim winning hands down. ... > Jim who thanks Chelsea for welcoming those Immigrants>>

I can't lay my hands on the photo, but he died in approximately 1958. He would have been about the age of my grandfather, John J. Grelis, Jr., who was born in the 1880s, here in Philadelphia. My great-grandfather, John Joseph Grelis, was a committeeman and magistrate in Philadelphia and the son of Dennis Grelis, who emigrated from Ireland between 1840-1850.

Still hoping to find a Michael or three andborn c 1806.. I dont care how the surname is spelled Desperate of Norwich UK jo

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/4988 Message Board Post: Greatgrandparents Michael and Rose Darcy (Dorsey) were both born in County Leitrim according to their death certificates.Michael's date of birth was about 1835 and Rose's about 1825. It is thought that they were married in Ireland but we are not sure.The Leitrim Genealogy Center has a marriage cert. for a Michael and Rose Darcy in 1844 but this does not apprear to be them because their first child born in America (in Chicago, Illinois) was born in 1856.Their youngest child, Hugh was born in 1868. I suppose it is possible but seems unlikely that 12 years elapsed before a first child.We are assuming that their children: Mary, John, Thomas, Michael and Hugh were their only children but they might have had children born in Ireland who did not survive to accompany them to America. Any information would be appreciated.
