Hello Robin from siobhain (falloon,cullen) thomas - also looking for family from Belfast
Just to say that "carrick" is anglicised from "carraig" meaning
rock as far as I remember so Carrickfergus would probably be
"the Rocky area belonging to the clan of Fergus" though Im not sure I remember it being nr Belfast
I am fairly new too,also enquiring on behalf of my dad 82, but have already found out masses of background general stuff inc street indexes and census returns for Belfast - I can point you in the right direction if you like
From my own position I can say that I have come to believe that the whole of NZ is populated by Falloons!!!!
I will bear the Gallagher name in mind next time I am scouring
a list for Cullens and Falloons - I am usually online every sat at this time and would be happy to share stories/info with you or your gran
happy looking and kind regards,
siobhain
