Michael OShaughnessy and Margaret Galvin

GalwayGort Kilmacduagh And Kiltartan (Galway)

Hello,

I am searching for information on my husband's GGG Grandfather. Michael O'Shaughnessy was born in Gort, Galway in 1818. We do not know the names of his parents. We think his father was also called Michael O'Shaughnessy. Michael O'Shaughnessy married Margaret Gavin who was also born in 1813 in Gort, and we presume also married in Gort, before migrating to Australia. where they raised 6 children.

I would be very grateful for any information that you may be able to help me with.

Hello again!

I thought I had posted before but I must have failed to hit the Post tab.

In any event, we have a parish liaison in Gort and I have alerted her to your message.

Hi Roger,

We are coming to Ireland in April, and will be passing through Gort on on 16th April.  We will then be staying in Ennistymon until 20th April.

Many thanks

Hi Sister de Lourdes,

Thank you very much for looking up that information on our ancestors.  That is definitely them!!!    We will try to drop in and visit you on our way through.  We are finding so many places and have really such a short time, that I am not sure how we will go.

Coming from Australia, we are used to driving long distances, so hopefully we will be OK

Many thanks again for all your help,

Patricia Quinn

Hi Sister de Lourdes,

I forgot to let you know the names of Michae O'Shaughnessy and Margaret Galvin's children.  They were.......Michael, Edward,  Mary Anne, Bridget, Joseph and Elizabeth Annie. That was a typo when I spelt Margaret Galvin's name incorrectly.

 Looking forward to meeting you!!!
