MAWHINNEY/GALLOWAY

[Christopher]

Hi Val,

I have found two Galloways living in Co. Armagh in 1864 when Griffiths Valation of the county was taking place. Not much more information on them at the moment other than that they were the head of the household in each case.
William Galloway lived in the townland of Ballynery, in the parish of Martiaghs and George Galloway lived at Ballygasey in the Parish of Loughgall.

Best Wishes, Chris

Thanks Chris, I have seen them earlier but I dont know how to find out if they are connected you see. Thanks so much for keeping an eye open. Val.

Hei Val,

Here is a site which says Elizabeth Ann Galloway married on 10th December 1849 as opposed to the 9th December.- http://www.mcadamshistory.com/NIRecords.html

There are eight Galloways in the Lagan Valley and Quoile Phone Book 2004/5. The Phone Book for Northern Ireland 2003 had a list of approximately 72 Galloways.

Here is an interesting site for you Val. May not be connected to your family but the name Galloway may be worth a look in this case as the guy that married Eliza, daughter of John Galloway of Monkstown, Co. Dublin was William Drennan Andrews, one of the Andrews family of Comber, Co. Down. Another member of this well known family was Thomas Andrews Junr, Chief Designer and Managing Director of Harland and Wolff. He designed the Titanic which sank when it struck an iceberg in 1912.  www.proni.gov.uk/records/private/andrewfm.htm Broken Link

All the Best, Chris

Chris this was a great find, thank you! I have past it on to the lady who contacted me regarding the Galloway/McAdam marriage in the first place. She will be delighted as it is actually her McAdam family that is mentioned!
Yet another good deed done Chris.
Val.

I would bet my bottom dollar this is a spelling error on Mawhinney. NEVER gave seen it spelt that way.  Thanks for reply and yes I knew there were lots of Mawhinny connections in Antrim, alas they don't seem to be mine as I once did think. My lot definitely came from Keady. Co. Armagh. At the moment I am now trying to find the children of the following

From the Registers of Armagh - Parish of Tynan.
January 13th 1686 William Galloway married Mary English.

I am hoping one of their children was an Isabella Galloway who later married Alexander Mawhinney in Keady. Co.
Armagh.

Thanks so much for the list of Mawhinney addresses by the way. That was very kind of you and much appreciated.

I have no idea when you posted this, or if you care, but I found this http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=368666.0;attach=12503
Very interesting. It goes all the way from Robert Galloway to Patricia Hunter Love and her husband Bernard Stubbert (who happen to be my great-grandparents)
I just thought it was pretty neat and maybe you'd think so too, I guess.


My family has been trying to fill out our family tree a bit. We already had a few generations before Thomas Hunter Love, but it's been neat going even further back.

Hunter, I have not been on this site in a very very long time, and low and behold I just found your message tonight.  I was wondering if I could view your tree some place as I did try clicking on the site you mentioned my nothing comes up.
would really love to see our connection and please accept my late thank you for trying to help me. Val.
