This tragedy has been covered in a recent article in Cathair na Mairt. From a sculptural perspective the memorials to Maria Browne and Hugh O’Donel are unique as they include busts of their faces.

Family names - Thomas Casey b c1821 Wife Sarah poss Maughan
James Farrell b 1811

Thanks very much

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

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 Rita,
Sorry no luck at all with Maud,can't find anything sorry
Regards Lorraine

Hi Lorraine

Many, many thanks for your help.

Anne

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.

Dianne xx
