Looking for Flaherty/Faherty ancestors

GalwayBallinakill Derrybrien (Galway)

I am looking for my ancestors in Galway. Would like to know the dates and ship of immigration. Would like more family history, I'd like to find birth & marriage records for John Faherty & his father Morgan.

My name is Flaherty, but we believe the family name might have been Faherty in Ireland.

John Faherty & Margaret Wallace

John A. Faherty
b. about 1840
m. 16 Jan 1865 Ballynakill Parish, Renoyle, Clifden, County Galway, Ireland

* Age 25 when married in 1865
* John was living in Glassillaun, County Galway, Ireland when married in 1865.

Margaret Wallace
b. 1840 1850 ?
m. 16 Jan 1865
Ballynakill Parish, Renoyle, Clifden, County Galway, Ireland

* Living in Dawros More, County Galway, Ireland which is a part of Letterfrack when married in 1865
* Her father was Peter Wallace, a farmer
Her grandfather was William Wallace

Children of John & Margaret Faherty:
All born in Dawros More, County Galway, Ireland which is a part of Letterfrack
Bridget 18 May 1868
Thomas 26 Dec 1870
Michael 1 Dec 1873
Anne 10 Jun 1876
Kate 26 Nov 1880 (Katherine?) Immigration Yr: 1892
Stephen 01 Dec 1882
Margaret 04 Oct 1886

Notes and Comments:
* Came to America about 1890? ? just speculation
* Stephen carried Margaret off the ship because she did not have shoes.
* Bridget and Anne stayed in Galway (presume already married?)
* It may be that the children came to America, and then the parents (John & Margaret) followed later?

Morgan Faherty & Unknown <== Father of John Faherty

Morgan Faherty
b. about 1815 County Galway, Ireland
based on his son John being 25 when married in 1865

Notes and Comments:
* All that we know about Morgan is that he is listed as the father on his sons marriage record in 1865.
