Hi there

I have only just logged on to Genes today. If the offer of looks ups is still available would you kindly look up the family name of Gargan in Mayo.
Anything on this name or a variant. Much appreciated if you can.

Memorial details

Church/Graveyard KILBRIDE
Description of Church/Graveyard Situated about a mile south of Newport on the road to Westport, there are church ruins in the site. A local tradition states that there was a conflict between two Saints, St. Bridget and St. Murchan who had a church on the Clew Bay. As a result St. Bridget cursed him saying that his church would be drowned while he cursed that her church would be abandoned and become a graveyard. Needless to say this happened though in the former case it was a result of sea level changes and in the latter the 16-17th century Reformation. However the tradition may reflect some long forgotten dispute.

Lorraine,

Thank you for the offer, could you look for anybody with surname of MERNAGH please.

Thanks Angi x

Hi Lorraine

Hope I am not too late, but could you please look for William Varley he was born around 1841 and was dead by the time his son married in 1899, I think his wife was called Honor. His father was another William and his wife was Mary. They all came from Mayo. If you could find any of these it would be great. Thanks
Anne

Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for the look up and the quick reply. Looks very interesting, thank you.

Strangely, I replied to thank you earlier this morning but the reply doesn't appear to have gone on. I am glad I checked as I wouldnt want you to think I had ignored your reply, after being good enough to check for me!!

Anyway, hope this one goes on okay - thank you so much.

Church/Graveyard KILMEENA OLD
Description of Church/Graveyard This graveyard is situated about two miles east of the Westport to Newport road. The new church and graveyard are about 2-3 miles west of this site and have no pre 20th century memorials. However the latter have some fine modern Celtic crosses to the O’Malley family with symbols of the Crucifixion as well as the O’Malley coat of arms. This type of symbolism is otherwise unknown in this part of the county and while the symbols follow the traditional pattern found elsewhere in Ireland the inclusion of a saw is unusual.

Hi Lorraine, I am looking for information on Gallaghers of Swin(e)ford, County Mayo, if you have time please.

In particular John Gallagher who was dead by the time his son Patrick married in Liverpool in 1889. Johns wife was possibly Bridget Conmy and there may be a link to Cornelius Gallagher. Other siblings to Patrick were possibly, Mary, Peter, Catherine and Ann, don't know if they remained in Ireland or not.

Many thanks in advance.

Best wishes

Carol

Hi Marnie,

Hello Lorraine looking for cemetery records for Bridget bradshaw who live ClareIsland County Mayo. Marnie

Hi Lorraine,
Thanks for the quick reply however I unfortunately dont think it is my Patrick and Mary Reilly as I think they probably were born about 1825 if they had a son in 1857
Your help has really been appreciated.
