Gallaghers of Drumnashammer

[Woodford87]

Hello,

I have come to a bit of halt in my search for the Gallagher family of Drumnashammer.

They are Anthony Gallagher born circa 1840, died 1906. Ann (nee Gallagher) born circa 1838. This complicates matters as I don't know if they were distantly related before they married.

So far, I have the following children: Mary Anne born 1861, Catherine born 1867, Daniel born 1872, Patrick born 1874 and James born circa 1877.

I can find the family in the 1901 and 1911 census but I really would like to know if there were any more children and to where they emigrated? I have looked at various records but Gallagher is a very popular name and if the person didn't specify Drumnashammer, I'm lost!

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks for the information.

I have seen these records and I initially thought I had found them all but the problem is that there is a place called Drumnasharragh which is not far from Drumnashammer. It might not be a spelling/transcription error.

best wishes.

Hi,

My great grandad is James Gallagher from Drumbollogue, outside of Letterkenny. He was the son of Anthony and Ann Gallagher. His sisters were Mary Anne, Anne, Bridget, Cassie - is this the same family of Gallaghers?

If you want to email me I can let you know about James Gallagher's family.

Ah sorry! I only just found this forum and not sure how to send personal messages yet.

Yes so my great great grandparents are Anthony Gallagher who married Annie/Ann Gallagher.

Their children are:

Anne Gallagher (b.1846) married a James McDaid
Mary Anne Gallagher (b. 1861) married a Patrick Doherty
Bridget Gallagher (b.03/04/1865) married a Neil Sheridan
Catherine (Cassie) Gallagher (b. 17/03/1867 - d.12/03/1920) married Patrick Sheridan. They are buried in Killygarvan Cemetary, outside of Rathmullan.
Jeremiah Gallagher (b. 1869) - I have found him in public documents but no-one in my family recalls him or knows who he is.
Daniel Gallagher (b. 10/06/1871) married Alice Ann Gallagher.
Patrick Gallagher (b. 01/04/1873) married Mary Carberry
James Gallagher (b. 01/04/1875) - This is my great grandad, so I know all about this branch of Gallaghers in particular. He married Annie Maud Gallagher. My grandad is Dan Gallagher, their son.
William Gallagher (b. 19/04/1877) married Susan McGinley.

That's all correct to my knowledge.

Hopefully Woodford87 will see this
