If that is your family, there would be children earlier than your findings, I think.

Thank you for the Patrick Henry and Maria Gallagher marriage that is brilliant.
 
I totally agree that there could be earlier children based on the date of their marriage. So far the children have started with Patrick Henry 1866 but I will search again starting with those registers and adjust my search dates. 

Thanks again and well chuffed

Oh Wow Hallmark, where did you find that?

The workhouse was built in 1848 so looks like the Guardians were active before?

I wonder if that was Henry Reilly, Patrick Henry's Dad as mentioned in the 1864 newspaper.
I deduced from the newspaper article that Thomas J Reilly was his brother so maybe he was one of the 3 Reilly's mentioned in your article? Either way the Reilly's were quite involved - interesting?

Hi

I am looking for information on the Belmullet Board of Guardians and my GGF Patrick Henry Reilly, b abt 1834-40 d1908 Belmullet, who was Chairman in 1864 and his father Henry Reilly who was also involved at that time.

 

Thanks
Carole

So how do these relate to your GT Grandfather  Edward O'Reilly abt 1855 Cavan and his wife Margaret abt 1857 Leitrim   ?

Carole,

Are you now looking for different ancestors? This is confusing.
How have you arrived in Belmullet from Cavan/Leitrim? Is it a different branch of your family?
It would help to know and prevent unnecessary searching.

Apologies.
It is that previous thread that is wrong, I think.

Your Kate is a Reilly from Belmullet. Thank goodness

Well Bingham was sent sacks and sacks full of seed potatoes which were meant to be given to the locals to plant, he kept them and planted them so he could sell the crop to any that had money to buy them... and any that couldn't went on starving!

In the mid 19th century John Reilly prospered in business in the town of Belmullet and began to acquire lands. He bought land that had formerly been in the possession of the Houston and Nash families and in 1868 he leased more than 1000 acres from Reverend Sir William Palmer in the barony of Erris, county Mayo. In 1876 Thomas F.O'Reilly of Carne House, Belmullet, owned 6472 acres in county Mayo. By March 1916 he had accepted an offer from the Congested Districts' Board for the purchase of his estate and Noone writes of the sale of the estate in 1920 to the Board.

  Kate Reilly who is a Catherine born 1882 Belmullet is the daughter of Patrick Henry Reilly
The children of Patrick Henry are from Belmullet but not sure where his father Henry was born?

I haven't delved too much into my grandmother Kate/Catherine- the Reillys first - but she married a policeman, George Mckeon in 1908, when he was posted to Belmullet.  They later had a small holding in Mountmelmick (sorry for spelling) where Kate would give their food and bake cakes for the poor people - much to George's annoyance. So it was nice to tell the cousin who told me that story about Kate's father and grandfather being connected to the Board of Guardians and that it was in her genes to help
