Frederick Gallacher was my maternal great-grandfather. He was born in County Cork around 1843. His parents were Neil Gallacher and Ann Gallacher, née Boyle; but no other records of this family have yet been found.

Frederick, who was often recorded as “Farddy” Gallacher, was a Mason’s Labourer. At some time he migrated to Scotland. He married Rose Ann McMillan on 27th April 1869 in St Mary’s Catholic Chapel in Calton, in Glasgow; they lived in Glasgow for the rest of their lives. Frederick and Rose Ann had the following children: -

  • John Gallacher (1871-1925)
  • Ann Mason nee Gallacher (1872-1932)
  • Mary Gallacher (1874-1881)
  • Cornelius Gallacher (1876-1942)
  • Catherine Allen nee Gallacher (1879-1976). Catherine is my grandmother.

Frederick’s occupation was listed as Mason’s Labourer when he died on 31st December 1904, aged 61, at 3 William St Glasgow.
