Connaghan

[lib747]

Hello
I am trying to find any information about the family of Hugh Connaghan (my gggrandfather) who married Madjy Gallagher. Sons Daniel (born c.1859), Edward (born c.1862) and James b.1865(registered) all came to Scotland around 1882 to work in shale mining in Burntisland, Fife. James' birth cert. is in Crossroads, Dunfanaghy. The death certs. for Hugh and Madjy (1890/1891) are registered in Gweedore. I have found Hugh in Griffiths and know the descendants of the family in Scotland, Australia and Canada. Hugh Connaghan's death was registered by Hannah Sweeney.

Hi,
Are you still looking for information on this family?  I live in Australia and may have some info.  There were a number of Conaghan families who came to Australia, who are you related to?

Hi
I have traced my Australian branch and am in contact with descendants. I would like more info about my ancestors in Co.Donegal who I have traced back to 1865 in Magheralosk. My spelling is with two N's in the middle and I have not found a connection with Conaghan.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
I am in Australia, and would have family from Donegal and I am working with four AUstralian families.  I believe that Edward may have come to Australia and died in the war.  Can you let me know which of the Australian Conaghan families you are related to, if you wouldn't mind.  Edward appeared to leave Donegal go to Scotland and then came to Australia.  He was in the Australian armed forces.  Hugh is very common in my family so I am just trying to join up the dots.

Hello
My Edward Connaghan did not emigrate to Australia. He died in Edinburgh in the late 1890's. I have traced all members of my Connaghan family in Scotland.
Thanks

Hello
Further to earlier reply I forgot to tell you that I am not related to any Conaghans in Australia.
Thanks
