Surnames: Gilhooly, Callaghan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/5051 Message Board Post: My grt grandfather was born in Ballinamore on the 8 Aug 1869 I know little about him before he married in Belfast 1889. He had two siblings that I know of (though there are probably more) James 2 Apr 1872, and Mary 14 Jul 1874. There parents were John Gilhooly born around 1835 (v.approx) and Ellen Callaghan born around 1837 (agn v. approx). On John's (1869) death cert in Scotland his father is listed as a Roof Thatcher. However I may have found them on a index for the 1901 census in Cartronavalley, Roscommon were John is listed as a farmer. It is not a proper transcription but the occupants listed are John Gilhooly, 66, Farmer; Ellen Gilhooly, 64; Mary Gilhooly, 27. Which seems like a promising lead. If anyone knows about this family I would be most grateful to hear from you.
