Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Matt,

The baptism records for the RC parish of Kiltullagh begin in 1844, so you will not find a record of their births. The paid site, Roots Ireland, has the marriage record above, and it also shows the following marriages....the sponsors perhaps tie these three together...as siblings?? - Lawrence, Catherine, and Mary

John Hillary & Mary Gilligan, 24 Feb 1838, RC parish of Kiltullagh, witnesses - Laurence Gilligan & Peter Whyte

Thady Ruane & Catherine Gilligan, 5 Feb 1837, RC parish of Kiltullagh, witnesses - Peter Whyte & Mary Gilligan

Patrick Whyte & Mary Gilligan, 13 Feb 1830, RC parish of Kiltullagh, witness - William Whelan

Michael Conroy & Anastasia Gilligan, 25 Aug 1829, RC parish of Kiltullagh, witnesses - Peter Whyte & Laurence Gilligan

Unknown if the two Mary Gilligans are the same person or two different people, but all the same surnames are interesting.

Civil death records began in 1871, so you will only find a death record if they lived until then.

To add to the 1826 Tithe records mentioned above, there is a Mary Lawless in the parish of Killimordaly (aka Kiltullagh) in the townland of "Gilboola" - Galboley town land.

Regards,

Thank you Carolyn!

I appreciate your help.

Matt,

Perhaps contact the Kiltullagh Killimordaly Heritage Society? The locals might have some in-depth knowledge. https://www.facebook.com/KiltullaghKillimordalyHeritageSociety

Matt,

From RootsIreland, here are the Gilligans listed in Griffith’s Valuation of Galway, 1855, in either Kiltullagh or Killimordaly parish.

Gilligan Anne     Knockroe            Killimordaly        Co. Galway [possibly Anastasia, wife of Laurence?]

Gilligan  Thomas  Knockroe             Killimordaly         Co. Galway

Gilligan  William  Gloves East        Kiltullagh             Co. Galway

There was one Lawless in Kiltullagh, none in Killimordaly.

Lawless John       Gortakeeran       Kiltullagh             Co. Galway

I'll message that Heritage Society, thank you!

Thank you for the additional information. 

I was wondering if that Anne Gilligan was Laurence's wife, too. 

Thanks again!
