Hello all!
Looking for ancestors fromCloonascragh. I have a Patrick Smyth b 1859, his 2nd wife Margaret Rabbitt b 1872. They married Nov 28, 1894. Margaret's mother was Margaret Holian(sp?), Margaret's father Thomas Rabbitt and Patrick's Smyth's dad was Martin Smyth.
2 Rabbitt households in Cloonascragh in 1901:

I suggest you have a look at the Tithe Applotments (1823-37 free at titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/) nd Griffiths Valuation (1848-64 free at askaboutireland.ie/) as there are lots of Smyths and Rabbits in Galway

Thank you for the fresh leads today!
Hi,
I believe Thomas Rabbitt b1834 could be a sibling of my 2x great-grandfather through shared matches but I can't verify that. I have Thomas' marriage to Margaret Holian and my shared matches are descended through their children Michael and Laurence.
Any information sort on Thomas' parents and siblings please.
