Connor family, Portumna

GalwayPortumna (Galway)

Hello

I am trying to trace relatives from Portumna, Galway and would be grateful for any help please.

My grandmother is Margaret "Maggie" Monaghan and her father is John Monaghan.

She married Thomas Connor in Portumna in 1921.  Thomas' father is Patrick "Pat" Connor

in 1922 Margaret listed her adddress at Shannon Rd, Eyecourt, Portumna.   Margaret and Thomas moved to Dublin post- 1922 but I do not have any information regarding dates.

I have joined "findmypast" but unfortunately there are several Monaghan and Connor families and I'm not sure which branch could be my relatives.  I also recall being told that there is a connection with the Burke family.

I will also cross reference this post under the name of Margaret Monaghan.

Thank you.
