Fallon, Galway

[D.Maciver]

I am trying to trace info for my gg grandfather who was born in Galway about 1841 to 1845 (exact location unknown).  He appears in 1867 in St Helens, Lancashire married to Bridget.  His fathers name was Patrick and his place of birth is given as Galway, Ireland.  Not a great deal of info I know but any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nipy
Blimey I am so excited its taken me 5 years to find out what part of Ireland my ancestors came from .  All english census showed his birthplace as Ireland and its only with the release of 1911 census that it now shows birthplace as Galway, Ireland.  I only found this on Monday this week and am amazed that someone has helped me in such a short time, I can't thank you enough and I will definately be paying to view the info you have given me. Thank you so much.
Dee

My great grandfather was James Fallon who came to England before 1841 I think he came to Northwich in Cheshire and married Ellen Commons who was also irish in Northwich.  I believe James was born early 1820s.

My gt grandad was a James Fallon b 1854 his brother Patrick was born in 1866, don't know where they came from in Ireland, but their dad was a James Fallon; and Ellen Ryder who James Fallon b 1854 married was born in Craughwell, Galway. They all later lived and died in Ditton, Widnes, I have James and Ellen's marriage lines and it states his dad was James. I would love to know what his wife's name was and where they came from.
