Mary Gallagher

Hi,

I am looking for some information on my ancestor, Mary Gallagher. I believe she was born around 1846. I am not sure if that is correct, but she married Anthony Barrett and had a son called John born around 1884. Anthony was born around the same time as Mary I think.

I am looking for info on her birth and death and her parents names. including her mothers maiden name. I had found a record suggesting it might have been for her baptism, but I am not sure if it was correct. I know that when she was married, they lived in Mayo. But I am not sure where she was born.

Thank you!

From rootsireland.ie. Note John's baptism was in June, but his birth record says he was born In September. This situation is often found in Irish research. There was a fine to pay if a birth was registered late. So the parent or whoever registered the child made up a new birth date, one that would not involve a fine.
