Quinns,Ballygar

I am Eileen.My Father was James Quinn of Closhatoher,Ballynamoe Cross Roads,Ballygar,Co Galway.He was one of a number of children all deceased now.My uncles were Martin,Pake,Tom,Michael,John,Peter,and Aunts were Mary,Nora,Annie,Agnes.Some babies died at birth.I am interested to know the burial sight of my Aunt Nora, who died in USA.Also Aunt Annie who married and had a child,female.What became of her?Annie died whilst her daughter was young.

My Grandmother was Ellen Kilroy.She had a brother who went into the priesthood.The home address, above ,is a long one,but it was always used for posting mail to my Aunt Mary and Uncle Peter who lived in the old house.

I feel a need to try and trace my Aunt Annies daughter in USA.I think her Father remarried and nothing was found out about her,which is so sad.

I would appreciate any help. Thankyou.

Hello Frances, I am reviewing old unanswered queries and sadly this one appears to not naving been picked up by a local. I would suggest you try some of the local Ballygar Facebook pages, I see one Genealogy and DNA one but only just 600 plus members but there is another one about Ballygar which has almost 1,800 members, if  you are on FB apply to join a group and ask your query as there is surely someone living in the area.

All the Best

Pat
