Thanks for that, I think I need to try other permutations of the surname - they must be there somewhere.

I haven't seen the original document but the Ancestry transcription shows them as Mellay instead of Malley in 1881 - there is Patrick, Margaret & children John, James, Margaret, Michael & Mary Ann.

Thanks Carole - they were both alive in the 1881 census (Edinburgh) but we haven't been able to find their death details using O'Malley/Malley/Maley

Mayo / O'Malley/Gallacher - Newport, Mayo. Help please
« on: Friday 22 November 19 22:39 GMT (UK) »
My great great grandparents were Patrick O'Malley & Margaret Gallacher. They married in Newport, Mayo (on 15 Mar 1844 or 1845). They had a son, Patrick, in 1848 before moving to Edinburgh where they settled and raised a large family.
Try as I might, I can't find any pre-marriage information on either Patrick or Margaret or their families. Can anyone help with any information or point me in the right direction please, as I'm now at a complete dead end.
Many thanks
Phil

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Vera Grace Walker

Hi Sandra - Vera was grandmother to my good friend Rachel, who I'm trying to help. Rachel has pooled all the info that the family have & there are no known siblings of Vera. As I mentioned, it's believed that she came over from Canada as a young girl but the circumstances are not known.

Not sure whether this helps or hinders but Vera's marriage record shows her as Vera Grace P Walker - have been told the P stands for Priest but don't know whether that is a 3rd forename or possibly a double barrelled surname. Family lore is that she came to the UK as a young girl but that her birth was registered somewhere in Canada.

As far as I know, when she was preparing to apply for a passport she couldn't find her birth certificate so tried to get another but the UK authorities couldn't find a birth record. How she established she was born in Canada I'm not sure. Would she have had to produce a birth certificate when she married in 1938?

Birth info comes from death record

Have only just found the marriage so will order the certificate and see what info it reveals. Family gossip has it that Vera had no idea that she was born in Canada until she tried to apply for a passport in later life. Very strange.....
