Find Ancestors

As Lorraine has'nt posted on this thread for 5 years, I doubt whether she is still doing look ups.

Did you not look at the previous posts Anthony?

Hi Lorraine. You still available for look ups? I am interested in a Francis Xavier Murphy born Dublin in early 1870's. Noticed an entry that similar named person had at died CLIFDEN (Connemara, Galway?) in 1941 aged 68 years. No ther info but wonder if he is known there or buried there? Thanks.

Hi

Not sure if you are still able to look up but if you are, could I please ask to look for me?

My Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Patrick Mulloy married to Bridget (possibly Fahy/Fahi. He was a farmer from Burriscarra RC parish Co. Mayo. ANY info at all would be wonderful. Thanks, Claire

Church/Graveyard SPIDDAL
Description of Church/Graveyard This graveyard is the biggest in western County Galway and in the words of Walter Fitzgerald is ‘thickly covered with large limestone slabs’. The majority of memorials lie flat and while erosion was a problem most memorials were fairly easily read. The number of people who died aged 60 years is slightly suspicious. The graveyard contains an unique Mortuary Chapel that is blocked up. It has a plaque that states: “This chapel was built in 1776 at the expense of Stephen Martin Gentleman”, further details below. Walter Fitzgerald published three memorials in J.P.M.D., 1898, vol. 4, pp.59-60. The current church was built in the early 1900s and has no pre 20th century memorials. There are two new graveyards to the east and west of the village.

Church/Graveyard ARDBEAR
Description of Church/Graveyard Situated about one mile south of Clifden and mostly served the Catholic community. The quantity of large ornate high cross memorials indicates the increasing wealth of the Catholic merchant class from c. 1880. The older part of the graveyard is overgrown with mature trees, which may obscure earlier memorials centred around what appears to be a holy well.

Church/Graveyard KILBRICKAN
Description of Church/Graveyard This is situated about half way down the Rosmuck peninsula on a road leading off to the western part.

nudge up..........

Thank you very much for doing the look up for me Lorraine. I don't recognise any of those names just at the moment but I will take note of them and they are likely to tie in later on in my research.

Thank you also for the good wishes for my operation. Everything seems to be ok and I am walking a bit better now, although I am still sore, but that should pass in a few days hopefully.

Hi Lorraine

Many thanks for your kind offer. My GG Grandfather Michael Tracey or Tracy (born approx 1828 Galway) has his father named on his wedding certificate as Bartholomew Tracey or Tracy.

I would be extremely grateful if you could find anything about Bartholomew or indeed any other Traceys you could find in Galway if you are able.

Please excuse me if I don't get back to you straight away as I am going into hospital tomorrow for spinal surgery, and I am not sure how long I will be in but I will check this thread as soon as I can.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi

Do you have any record of a Maud Gorman who died in the late 60's/early 70's in Galway itself. She would have been around 60/70 years old. Maud was my grandmother but I know very little about her including the name of her husband who died some years earlier. Would be grateful for any information that you have.

Hi Niall,
Sorry there are no Moylan's at all
