Mary Gallagher
- Gender
- Female
I am looking for a marriage or other information about Mary Gallagher - who married Patrick (Pat) Murphy, date and information unknown.
Mary Gallagher Murphy is one of 3 daughters of Hugh Gallagher. Her sisters were Ann Gallagher and Margaret Gallagher.
Mary Gallagher Murphy came to the US in 1882-1884.
I cannot find any information about Patrick Murphy, my great-grandfather. He is the MYSTERY MAN. He is not in any of the US census data, however, Mary Gallagher Murphy is in the 1890 and 1900 census records. I cannot find his passage to the US and wonder if he died in Ireland. If I could find a marriage record, perhaps I could do more research on him. I am interested to see if there are any death records.
The only record I have of Pat Murphy is as father of Mary Murphy, my grandmother, in her Baptismal record. The daughter of Mary Gallagher and Pat Murphy, Mary Murphy, my grandmother, was baptized 1st of March, 1869. The sponsors were Eugene Murphy and Bridget Murphy - perhaps brother and sister of Patrick Murphy?
The Baptism record says Achill R.C. Baptisms Vol. 1 Page 15. It does not give a Church name. Perhaps the marriage of Mary Gallagher and Pat (Patrick) Murphy might also be in Achill, same Church where their Mary was baptized?
