Clare / Re: Ballinger family
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 12:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Freya,
My Grandmother was a Ballinger from Ruane Dysart area in Clare, Ballinger was her maiden name, she moved to Galway and married my Grandmother who was a Kelly they had 11 children,
I was raised by my Grandmother and she lived to be 102 most of my Grandmothers family live in Clare,
I am a Kelly from Galway,
I was always told when I was young that the Ballinger originated from France but when they came to Ireland they were Bollinger but the the O was changed to an A, this is what I have always been told and I spoke to my uncle and he said yes it is true,
If I can help with anything let me know
