I'm afraid we have different James.  Mine was James Lally, born in the 1790s and his son, James and/or Patrick who came to London from Galway before 1847.  His life was not as romantic as your James'.  Mine was a gardener, then ran a mushroom farm in Kensington and ended up in Kensington workhouse.
But thanks for your reply.

Dear Ann
Not sure if we've been in touch before.  I've been away from Lally family research and am now back into it.
My g.g.g.grandfather was James Lally, born about 1790 somewhere in Galway.  Are our Jameses the same man?  What was your James' occupation?  Who were your James' children?  Did any come to London?
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Galway / Re: LALLY family - LOUGHREA

My Lally ancestors came from Loughrea to England (London) at about the same time.  Because I have so few details of them I have been unable to follow them up in Loughrea.  But I have recorded these two girls, Anne & Margaret, as an example of the state they were in at that time, perhaps as an illustration of why my family left home.  Also, because Loughrea was a small place with few Lallys I have assumed that Anne & Margaret were related to my family or, at least, they knew each other.  After a break I now plan to restart my Lally searches in Ireland, perhaps visiting next year.   I would hope to find out as much as I can about all the Lallys in Loughrea.
So I can't give you any help now but would appreciate knowing if you've found out any more since you posted this request in April.  And if we keep in touch I may be able to find more about Anne & Margaret in the next year.
Best wishes
Stephen
