Galway / Re: DEBNEY/FALLON marriage Galway

I noticed you have "Muir, Graham, Coulthorpe, Argyle, Renfrew, Glasgow" in the bottom of your post.
I wonder if that is any relation to my 2nd great grandfather
James Campbell Muir, (born 1843 Renfrew, Scotland) who married Mary Ann Debney in Australia. 
I don't have any family information about James Campbell Muir.

John Debney and Sarah Lawrence's first daughter together, Mary Ann Debney (born 1850) is my 2nd great grandmother.  Their second daughter was Emma (born 1851)
Mary Ann Debney married James Campbell Muir (born 1843, Renfrew, Glasgow, Scotland) who had emigrated to Australia with his father, a ships captain.
Mary and James Muir lived in the goldfields of central Victoria, Australia and had 15 children. 
Their daughter Mary is my maternal great-grandmother.

I am looking for more information on this as well, they are my 4th great grandparents.

Gregory Debney (born 1795 Galway)
Married Margaret/Margarita Fallon (born 1796)
they had one son, John who was born 1816 when Gregory was 21 and his Margaret was 20.
John who emigrated to Australia in 1834, at age 19 yo where he lived his life as a farmer and also opened a general store in the booming gold rush era of central Victoria.
When John Debney was 62yo he married his shop assistant Sarah Lawrence who had emigrated from Hertfordshire UK with her 8 children from a previous husband (who had deserted her and the kids) 
They had 2 more children together.
John Debney passed away at age 80yo.
I've found all this so far on ancestry.com but it doesn't go back any further than Gregory Debney (born 1795 Galway)

Hi Rainbow,

I can't help directly but thought I'd post as the names are very familiar in my tree.

http://fallon.rootschat.net/37.html

This is my Thomas Fallon/Fallen born ~ 1811 in Ireland somewhere but no idea where.

I know Michael and Thomas are not unusual names names but thought I'd post anyway.

I am completely stuck at this point myself.

Thomas' wife maybe Bridget or Margaret Long though this is to be confirmed.

All the best with your search,
Pam

Hi Pam, my 5th Great Grandfather was a Thomas Fallon born in 1780, County Galway somewhere.  His daughther Margaret Fallon (born 1796) had one son, born 1816 who moved to Australia in 1835 when he was 19 that's how I ended up born in Australia 150 years later!  (I am now living in Ireland).
Does your Thomas Fallon/Fallen born 1811 have a grandfather named Thomas born in 1780 ? 
I am searching to find more of my Fallon family members. 
I might have to pay a visit to the geneology records places in, and around Galway county and have a search there.
All the best, Sharon
