I have the baptism certificate of my ancestor Hugh Gallagher who was baptised on 30th Jan 1830 in Castlerea.
His parents are Michael Gallagher and Mary Finan and the godparents are Michael Flanagan and Mary Finan.
I have found two possible siblings for Hugh but cannot find anything at all about his parents.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
Bev

I went to Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie but they did not have a marriage record for Michael Gallagher and Mary Finan. According to their index, they have Castlerea RC records back to 1804. Possibly Mary came from a nearby parish where records do not exist back that far. Roots is a pay site if you want to look at the data they have on records. I looked for baptisms for children of Michael and Mary and I think I found 3 which would match what you found.

Hello Roger
Thank you for your reply. RootsIreland is where I bought the baptism record, likewise the two siblings Catherine and Thomas.
I will have to look a bit further afield, but not easy especially with fairly common names.
Thanks again
