Michael Lally

GalwayLoughrea (Galway)

A Chairde: Trying to trace my great grandfather, Michael Lally from Loughrea. We had thought that he was born in 1839 but cannot find any record of him for that year. I did find a baptism for a Michael Lally on March 29, 1838. This shows his parents as as Johs Lally & Honora Kelly. Johs is listed in other records as Josephi. Possible siblings are James 1834 ?, Ann, 1836 ? and Patrick, 1840 ?. We think he arrived in the United States around 1859 and he may have returned for a visit in 1884. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Slan go foill. Jerry Lally

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

In case you don have it, here is a link to the parish register for Loughrea http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0336

I searched Roots Ireland and found two Michael Lally baptismal records in Loughrea. There was one on May 23rd 1835 and the parents were Joseph Lally and Honora Kelly. The second record was in 1838 as you indicated with John Lally and Honora Kelly as the parents. My guess is that the 1835 Michael died young and the second was born in 1838. I could not find a James Lally but located Ann and Patrick. See below.

We believe my great great granfather Joseph Lally,born in 1794 (?) died in Loughrea in 1878. I cannot find any birth record for him and who were his parents. Possible siblings are Peter 1774-1864, Catherine 1774-1864, John 1781-1865, Bridget 1783-1869 and Honor 1786-1871, all of whom died in Loughrea. As with Joseph I cannot find any birth records for the possible siblings.Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Jerry Lally

Jerry:

The Loughrea RC records do not start until 1827.

Civil death records started in 1864. From 1864-1890 only index records are available online. Starting in 1891 the images of the records are available online for free at www.irishgenealogy.ie  They are working to add images for records prior to 1891 but I don't have a time frame.
