Hello

 

I will be spending a few weeks in Mayo and Galway in October 2018--I hope to find what happened to my Grandmothers brothers Michael born 1876, Thomas born 1879, and Patirck born 1886 in Hollywell, Ballyhaunis Mayo to Stephen and Mary (Mitchell) O'Malley who were married 4 October 1875--I will be visiting Saint Patrick's Church in Ballyhaunis 

Then I hope to visit Gort Galway where my Grandfather Edward Joseph O'Malley was from --he emigrated to hartford in 1907

Any leads gratefully accepted

  • Hello. Does that mean both your grandparents were born O'Malley in 2 different counties? Did they marry after they left Ireland?

  • Hi, Mary Mitchell, this is the marriage I found in 1875, were they American?

  • My grandmother Anne Teresa O'Malley was born October 8, 1882 in Ballyhaunis Mayo. My Grandfather Edward Joseph O'Malley came from Gort Galway. They met after enigrating to Hartford, Ct

    and married in February 1914 in Hartford where they remained the rest of their lives

  • Hello Margot

     

    I did visit Ballyhaunis in October this year---did not locate information on Patrick, Thomas and Michael O'Malley but just did check the marriage certificate of Stephen and Mary (Mitchell) O'Malley Married 4 October 1875 and as you found they had been living in the US--Stephen in Springfield Illinois and Mary Mitchell lived in Westchester PA--This is totally new to me so I will have to pursue this further--I never thought they left Ireland, but who knows???? 

    Thanks very much for directing me to this information --will try and find out if it's true or not

     

    best wishes for a lovely Holiday
