Hi Alice,

I can understand your frustration. Firstly may I ask where you have gotten your information about Edward P Galligan from? I haven't been able to find a Danesbridge listed as a townsland or as a place on the map of Ireland. So I think if we can start there and see where it takes us.

I believe this came from a poorly researched tree on Ancestry for Edwd Galigan, Below is the linked source transcription:

If I find any other information I will pass it on here
