Nancy Rose Gallagher was born May 11, 1866 in County Carlow Ireland. She immigrated to the US and settled in Newton Grove, NC, where she married JC Sutton. 9 children were born of the marriage.
She died July 12, 1925, and is burried in the cemetery of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.
She is my great-grandmother. I am seeking information about her place of birth and parish in County Carlow.
County Carlow, or Ceatharlach in Irish, is located in the south-east of Ireland. It is the second smallest county in Ireland and home to the prehistoric Browne’s Hill Dolmen – the capstone of which is reputed to be the largest in Europe. Our county town is Carlow and we have a population of approximately 54,612. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
