I don't have a 100% answer to that question.
Marys brother Patrick lived in Newcastle.
Mary was married there.
Michael was a coalminer and was,nt alive in 1887 .
Thats not much to go on I admit.
I,ve heard mention ...
Newcastle Upon Tyne & Felling when my mother
talked about her mothers Gallagher & Vallaney family history.
(the little there was)
Michael, Mary & Patrick Gallagher.
There must have been quite a few people with these names
at that time in Newcastle Upon Tyne // Felling

« on: Thursday 06 December 07 19:37 GMT (UK) »Mary,
Terry mentioned possible root of Charles in Scotland.......
His death was registered (between 1st Jan-31 Mar) 1891 within Tynemouth Registration District (age at death 33 yrs)
C1891 taken fairly soon after, shows an absence of related folk from their addresses at the time of his death...
14 Caledonia Street ( 4231-81-44 Longbenton District 3)Bradley family... no Gallaghers !
74 (-78) Walker Road (4231-8-10 & 4231-9-11 Longbenton District 1) shows several families.. no Valleney (or variations)
or Gallagher.
Elsewhere in this Walker district of Longbenton parish is a
Maggie Gallagher, 33 yr old wife of Patrick, living at 3-4 Tyne St ( 4231-31-55). This Maggie is recorded as born in Scotland. On C1901 ( 4806-59-11) she is Margaret, 43, born Kirkcudbright, Scotland.
I wonder what her maiden name was !
-----------------------------------------------------------
Have you got Newcastle baptism record of Mary, dtr of Michael Gallagher ?

Hi Michael !
Its strange that on Charles V death certificate it states "Maggie G "as living at 14 Caledonia Street Walker.,
on the 10th March 1891 ,yet circa 3 weeks later she is not there when the census were taken.
I have also checked the 1891 census for Vallaney at 74 Walker Road , like you I found other surnames in the building but no Vallaney. ? I wonder where Mary & little Ethel were as I have been unable to find them in any census ?
No I do not have Marys baptism record of Mary Gallagher (father Michael)
Do you think I could apply for it with just a name & birth year and her fathers christian name ?
I,d love to know more about them.
Another twist in this story I have discovered is when Ethel Vallaney married in 1904 at the register office i Sunderland her fathers name is written as "George" Vallaney (soldier).

This new angle with the Vallaney variation Vanelly/Vallelly
has been constantly in my thoughts and giving me new hope
of finding information about my grandmother & her birth parents.
JTA Thankyou so much.
Thankyou too Tracy for doing the "recap" and Michael Dixon for the Gallagher link !

Hi JTA
Thankyou for your reply !
The information I have on Charles V is from Army Records which I ordered from England.
(I live in Sweden)
It could be that Charles did not quite give his correct date of birth when he registered himself
for army service ?
On his marriage certificate in 1887 his father's name is Patrick Valleny (deceased) Lab.
Mary Gallaghers father Michael was also deceased in 1887 ?
It says in his army record he was born in the parish of Blackhill in or near the town of Consett in the
County of Durham. Would it be possible for me to obtain a birth certificate with the details I have ?
Where would I apply for it ?
Its all very interesting reading with the information you have sent me about the Vallelys in Consett.
I,m certain they are the relations of Charles.(I'd like to think so)
Maybe these Vallelys living in Consett today have a family history tree ?
