Hi,
I'm looking for some help tracking down a Gallwey family that was living in County Waterford in the latter part of the nineteenth century. All I've been able to find from newspapers, censuses and other sources is the initial of their first names.
There were two men: H.J. Gallwey and W. Gallwey
and two women (both single): A. Gallwey and F. Gallwey
They might not have been natives of County Waterford, but were certainly in Tramore in the summer of 1877.
Could anyone help in identifying any of these people?
Thanks,
J.

Hello and welcome.
Which censuses do you have these people in?
Are there clues re occupations or possible ages?
There are Gallweys in Tramore area so it is likely that they are from Waterford.
There is a probate entry, for example, for Henry Joseph Gallwey, 1912.
It is best to give any useful information you have collated to help others in the search.
Regards
Heywood

Were your people Wine Merchants?
Have you checked Irish Census, 1901 and 1911?

Hi, Heywood,
Thanks for your replies. I think your Henry Joseph Gallwey might well be one of the people I'm looking for. The family might well have been wine merchants.
I can't remember exactly, but it was probably one of the newspapers available in the British Newspaper Archive that I originally found the family's name in. I also looked in places like Burke's "A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Ireland", but to no avail.
And nary a first name! Annoying, isn't it?

There are various entries in censuses 1901 and 1911. You can search here http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie
Conahycalling has given you one example.
And has now added more :)

Thanks,
Unless I'm wrong the F. Gallwey I'm looking for was a "Miss" and had a sister, "Miss A. Gallwey". They were probably in their twenties circa 1880.

Hi, again,
I think I mentioned in my original post that I had searched the Irish censuses, but to no avail.

This reads as though you have censuses with initials.
Henry Joseph's probate mentions William so they may well be HJ and W.
Would you like to share the 1877 information? It sounds as though it may be a newspaper report of people attending a funeral.

There is a published tree which has
Henry Gallway Gallwey J P 1807-1896 and Mary/Maria Walsh as parents to several children including the ones I have mentioned plus
Anne b 1857
Frances b 1858
No other details about these ladies.

Jus a bye-note
I was browsing some old books and came across the following which I found both amusing and interesting, especially as I had no real reason to start reading the little pamphlet!
It was written in 1937, so the reference to 150 years or so implies about 1790ish
Muckross Abbey is located near Killarney in Co. Kerry
Link to book’s location at NLI (http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000022274); I couldn't see it online otherwise

I suspect that the OP is searching for details of lawn tennis players. It's a shame so many people have done lots of searching to help for information that isn't really wanted and the OP doesn't bother to respond to direct questions at times ::)
See this thread on Australia board-

Hello, debu,
Many thanks for that helpful information on the Gallwey family. I haven't posted much recently and am not always able to respond immediately to replies, but I do appreciate any help and positive contributions from other members.

I don't mind why someone requests information as long as it is not for commercial reasons and I also do not believe that any research is wasted.
Many times I have seen someone post on Rootschat for the first time because they got a search engine hit on an ancestor's name. This would not necessarily happen if we didn't flesh out the families when searching, or give probable suggestions.
