The 1911 Census has only one Hugh Cullinane at Ower a farmer

Hugh aged 69 in 1911  is listed asthe FATHER of Patrick who is 31 born 1879/80 then

Maybe I have the wrong house or they entered the names in the wrong order?

There is no Hugh in the 1901 Galway census and no Thomas or any other Cullinane in Ower.  It may be a different rendering of the spelling?

Mr. Corrigan

My name is Hugh O'Connell. I'm 21 years old from Quincy, MA. My mother is Eileen O'Connell n?e Cullinane from Ower West, Roscahill Co. Galway Ireland. I have an uncle named Patrick Cullinane who still farms the land that has been in our family for as far back as anyone could attest to. I am the namesake of my mother's father, Hugh Cullinane who himself also inherited the name from his grandfather; the Hugh Cullinane that you referred to in your post. I have been to Moycullen several times and seen the graves at the old Killanin parish. The Cullinane family continues to exist in Moycullen.

What I have heard of Thomas Cullinane is that he and his brother Connor went to Pittsburgh and found work as bookkeepers. They were supposedly educated to read and write in Greek. 

I believe I have the capacity to answer a few of the questions you might have. I hope you will find my response before too long and get back to me.

Thank you,

Hugh O'Connell
