Graham, My interests are SHIEL/GALLAGHER in the parishes of Meelick/Kilconduff not Turlough. However, my notes do include several FOY(E)s who married GALLAGHERS. Most of the parish records begin after 1820 or so and, according to one source, Turlough parish R.C. begins 1847. Those of the C.of I. begin 1821. If you would like the 10 or so entries I have let me know. they are in a spreadsheet, Excel97 and would be an attachment. If you can live with loss of format, I could send them as text within the email.
