Hello. Yes, my great grandmother was Ellen, although she went by Nellie. It is great to hear from you. I have several letters that your grandmother wrote to my family here in America, including a letter congratulating Ellen on the birth of her granddaughter (my mom) that included a four-leaf clover and a St. Patrick medallion. I also have a photo of a woman sitting in a field that no one in my family has been able to identify--I believe it is Mary Gallagher, your grandmother's mother. I would love to share information with you. You can reach me by email at darancestry@gmail. Best, David.

Monaghan / Re: Kellaghan / McGeough in Ferney and Tamlet

Many thanks Elwyn,
I found these placenames on a transcription of their grave markers in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, America. Sounds like Farney is the same as Ferney. Unfortunately, not sure what the proper townlands are.
A friend online suggests that James is the brother of Father Francis Keelaghan (1804-1882), the priest who founded the Church of Immaculate Conception in Bonduran, County Donegal.

Monaghan / Kellaghan / McGeough in Ferney and Tamlet
« on: Saturday 09 June 12 16:17 BST (UK) »
My GGG grandparents were:
James Kellaghan (1798-1880) originally from Ferney, County Monaghan, and
Margaret McGeough Kellaghan (1810-1870) originally from Tamlet, County Monaghan.
Can anyone tell me more about Ferney and Tamlet?
I believe my GGG grandparents were Catholic. Does anyone know the names of any of the older parishes that might have marriage records?
Thanks in advance for any information.

Mayo / Gallaghers and Moores of Lisdurraun, Meelick, Swinford
« on: Saturday 02 June 12 16:02 BST (UK) »
In 1901 and 1911, My GGG Grandmother Catherine Gallagher (widowed) lived in Lisdurraun, Meelick, Swinford along with my GG grandmother Mary Moore (widow of Christopher Moore) and my G Grandmother Nellie Moore.
Is anyone familiar with the Gallagher or Moore families in Lisdurraun?
I understand Mary, Nellie and Christopher lived in Middlesbrough, England in the 1880/1890s.
In Griffiths Valuation, John Gallagher and Honoria Gallagher resided in separate homes in Lisdurraun.
Do any of these people sound familiar to you?
Also, would love to hear from anyone who now lives in Lisdurraun and can describe life there today.

Donegal / Re: McColes of Templecrone/Roshine Acres

Many thanks rathmore for your help. I surprisingly managed to find those sources, but again I am grateful for your attention. I have found that tracking the earlier generations is quite difficult especially since it appears many families followed the typical naming patterns. As a result I have too many Charles, Fannys and Ellens to be able to distinguish their origins.
Cheers

Donegal / McColes of Templecrone/Roshine Acres
« on: Thursday 24 May 12 02:15 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone, thanks in advance for your interest. My cousins and I have recently begun an investigation of our McCole ancestors in Donegal.
My great grandfather is Charles McCole (1890 - 1952), and he came to America in 1913 and raised his family in Bayonne, New Jersey. He had a son Charles and three daughters, Cathrin, Mary and Nellie, my grandmother.
My great grandfather is a son of James McCole (born circa 1852) and Ellen O'Donnell (born circa 1845) of Leckenagh (in 1901) and Cruickagmore (in 1911).
His father James in turn is a son of Charles McCole (born circa 1819) and Fanny Gallagher (born circa 1824) of Roshin Acres. Please forgive my spelling of placenames.
I have managed to track down the grave of my great grandfather's brother and sister, John and Ellen McCole, in St Mary's Belcruit, but I have not been terribly successful in tracking the family's origins except via the available census schedules and Griffith's valuation which refers to the family in Roshin Acres as M'Coll.
I wonder if anyone can help with any of the following questions:
1. Might anyone know if the McCole families favored any particular cemetery for burials. Although my great grand aunt and uncle were buried together in St. Mary's Belcruit, I could not find the prior generations there.
2. Might anyone know the names of any of the parents or siblings of Charles McCole of Roshin Acres?
3. Might anyone know the names of any of the parents or siblings of Fanny Gallagher or their original town lands?
4. Might anyone know the names of any of the parents or siblings of Ellen O'Donnell or their original town lands?
Apologies for the length of this post, but any information would be cherished.
Cheers
