Hi Christine,

Apologies for not replying earlier.  I've had no Internet for months.

I'm afraid I've very little on the O'Haras and no idea where Mary O'Hara was born on Achill Island.  All I know is that her father was a Martin O'Hara and oral history was that she lived in Newport before emigrating to England between 1850 and 1868.  She was born around 1850.

I've done very little on this side of the family, so sorry not to be able to help.  There could be a connexion - who knows - but I've too little info to make one I'm afraid.

I do actually have a photograph of Mary O'Hara who married a Thomas Gallagher in Rochdale 1868.

Hi there.
I too am doing a family tree for a friend at work, his grandmother is Alice Mary Gallagher, today I received her birth certificate which states Alice Mary born 10 Aug 1884 in Jump near to Wombwell,Barnsley,South Yorkshire.
Her father is Thomas Gallagher occupation coke burner and mother Mary O'Hara.
Any other info about Thomas and Mary would be most welcome.
I do have them on all censuses apart from the 1881.
Regards Pat.
