Sarah Donnelly - John Mulry - Galway

GalwayEyrecourt Meelick Clonfert (Galway)Tuam (Galway)

John Mulry, my great grandfather, was Baptized on 25 September, 1833 in Tuam, Galway, Diocese: Tuam. Father: Michael Mulry/Mother: Bridget Geraughty.

My great grandmother Sarah J. Donnelly (Donalan) born abt 1835 in Galway. She married John Mulry (Mulharay) on 20 January 1858 in Lusmagh, Diocese: Clonfert.

Witness: Patt and Bridget Mulharay.

They immigrated to New York somewhere between 1858 and 1860. John died in New York 18 Nov 1879. 

I would love to find out who their family was. I drove 700 miles to Salt Lake City, Utah to the Morman church thinking that I might find something about them but I found nothng. Could anyone help me?

--I would love to find out who their family was.-- Hi, Can you be more specific? Are you looking for info about John and Sarah's children? Their siblings? Information about THEIR parents? Thank you.

I would like to find John Mulry's Parents and Siblings. Also Sarah Donnelly. The only thing that I know about Sarah is her marriage record with my great grandfather.

John and Sarah moved to New York after they married. (1858-60). They had 7 children, only two lived. I would like to know more about where and who they (John-Sarah descended from). Thank you, Marilyn

--RootsIreland gives the following baptism. I can't say for sure, though, that it is your Sarah. Her marriage place is quite a distance from the parish of baptism, which gives me pause.

Sarah Danally
Baptism: 06-Dec-1831
RC Parish: KILCUMMIN OUGHTERARD, Co. Galway
Parents: William Danally, Mary Molloy
Sponsors:
Michael Hynes, Bridget Holleran

Thank you for the information. I hope that she is my grandmother. How far is it from Clonfert where they were married. That is the most information that I have been able to gather. From what I gather from my Mom's family who are all gone now, she was one strong lady.

Hi Marilyn

It may help to give the children's names. On the births what profession was listed for John?

Regards
