Gallaghers in Co. Donegal, possibly Tullaghobegley, Cashel

Hi,

I am trying desperately to connect my ggmother Rosina Grace GALLAGHER b circa 1869 County Donegal, to family in Ireland.  Her parents (recorded on her Australian Marriage certificate, Victoria, 1889) were Edward GALLAGHER, farmer and Sarah MCHUGH/MCCUE.

I have ben unable to find any birth certificate for her or marriage for her parents.

I have, however, found records for 3 children with parents of the same name in the Gortahork Baptisimal Records.

They are Cecilia b 3 march, 1851, Cashelhill.  Witnesses James & Sussana Gallagher.

Edmund Gallagher b 10 sept 1854,  Cashelhill.  Witnesses Michael McCarry and Mabia Brogan

Sarah Gallagher b 1856, Cashel.  Godparents James Gallagher and Catherine Gallagher. James & Catherine were found in Cashel Tithe Applotments.

I have found an Edward Gallagher in records from the minutes of evidence given before the select committee into destiution on Gweedore & Cloughaneely, 1857-1858.

An Edward Gallagher from Cashel, is also listed for illegally fishing at Lackragh River in Dunfanaghy Pety Sessions nov 1851-dec 1855.

I have searched for death records for Edward and Sarah Gallagher.

Sarah Gallagher died 24 june 1878, aged 50, Cashel, farmer's wife

Edward Gallagher died 23 oct 1895 aged 80, Cashel, widower, farmer.

The informant for Edward d 1895 was his dau in law Mary - there was only one Mary Gallagher in Cashel, her marriage states she was Mary McGowan, married to Edward Gallagher, son of Edward, on 11 apr 1888.

In 1883 I have found in Ships Passenger Lists a ship the 'Roslin Castle' leaving Plymouth and arriving Sydney 1st March, 1883 both a Annie GALLAGHER, 19 years  and a Grace GALLAGHER, aged 15 years.  Their father was Edward GALLAGHER, Donegal, RC.  There was a sister Sarah already living in Sydney when they arrived as domestic servants.

Rosina married in Carlton, Victoria, in 1889 my ggfather Robert SHARP from Shetland.  He was a merchant seaman and died on the HMHS Llandovery Castle as boatswain in 27th June, 1918, off Fastnet, Ireland.

  Robina Eleanor b 1890, Port Melbourne

Robert James b 1894, North Melbourne

Sarah Grace b 1893, North Melbourne

David b 1895, North Melbourne.

.David and Sarah both died as infants from diarrhoea and vomiting, and are buried in Victoria.

I have had searches done for me in Ireland, to no avail.

Kindest Regards,

Pam Eustice nee SHARP     pomeus13@gmail.com

I would really like to find

 

 

Rosina and Robert had 4 children.
