Hurley/Collins

My great grandmother was Margaret Hurley who was born in 1861 in Knockanalban and who died in Aughrim, Galway in 1935. Her parents were Richard Hurley and Bridget Collins and the family lived in the Mountscot section. Margaret had a brother Thady (Timothy) who lived there in the 1901 census and who died in 1937. Any information on both the Hurley and Collins families would be appreciated.

Recently I made a potential 4th cousin connection with a person here in the US and his ancestors were John O'Dwyer and Mary Curtin from the Milltown Malbay area (actual area not currently known). They are the same generation as the above Hurley/Collins family, so the assumption is that there was a sibling relationship in the previous generation between these 4 families.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Noel, I am looking at unanswered queries and yours dates from the early days of the site, would you consider posting your information under the Galway parish in question for other people using the parish as their location, also we have more volunteers now so a repost might assist, I am on the east coast over a 100 miles away.

There is a number of private Galway genealogy Facebook if you were interested in joining also.

Good Luck

Pat
