I am interested in learning the marriage date and the parents and siblings of Rose Gaffney (1856-1937) who was born in Aghaleague and lived in Cornageeragh. Rose's husband's name was Thomas Farrelly.
Thank you.

The subscription site Roots Ireland shows a February 20 1882 marriage for Rose Gaffney and Thomas Farrelly in the Outeragh RC parish. No witnesses listed and no names of fathers. I was not able to locate a civil marriage record.
Roots Ireland had an April 12 1856 baptismal record in Outeragh parish for a Rose Gaffney with parents Patrick Gaffney and Elizabeth Beirne. I did not find any other baptismal records for Siblings of Rose or a marriage record.
The 1857 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Oughteragh civil parish did not show a Patrick Gaffney https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/leitrim/oughterragh.htm ; There was a Bartholmew Gaffney and a Michael Gaffney in Curraghnawall townland. Not sure how they are connected to Patrick.

Patrick Gaffney and wife Elizabeth Beirne/Byrne lived in Curraghnawall. Michael and Bartholomew Gaffney appear to be Patrick's siblings.
Is there any additional information available for the Gaffney and/or Beirne families of Curraghnawall including burial information? Thank you.

It appears Bartholmew died in 1865 at age 58. The free site www.irishgenealogy.ie has the images of death records from 1871 on. For 1864-1870, they have index records but we expect the actual records to be available in the near future.

Michael Gaffney died in 1899 at age 73. See first record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
A Patrick Gaffney died in 1871 at age 55 in Curraghnawall see fifth record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
There was also a Patrick Gaffney who died in 1868 at age 71 but we only have an index record for now. Likely the 1871 record is your ancestor.
Not sure where they were buried.

Thank you very much.
