query re founding father Farigal Gallagher
Hi everyone
I am trying to find out more information about a founding family of Eganville, Ontario (about 25 miles from Renfrew), namely Farigal / Ferigal / Farrell Gallagher (c.1821-1908) & his wife Julia (also Gallagher; c1822-1909).
I want to find out who their parents were. And if they had any siblings.
Here is what we already know …
Farigal & his wife Julia were born in county Donegal, Ireland and came to Canada in 1847.
Their children were born in Eganville, but they later moved to Grattan township.
Farigal died in 1908 and was apparently buried at Mount St. Patrick cemetery.
Is there any documentation about this particular couple and their ten children? I attach a book extract below with some brief information, but there may be more information from newspapers, other books, etc
Do we have any information about their parents or siblings?
Do we know where this couple were born and raised? The townlands of Currin, Drumdeevan & Cashleenan may be relevant.
Looking forward to any thoughts or recommendations.
Warm regards, Maurice
