Looking for Fallons in Castledaly, Scalp, Peterswell Galway

Kim:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on Roots Ireland and was not able to find a baptismal record for Thomas or Patrick. I did find a February 1895 church marriage record in Kilchreest for Patrick and Julia. There was no civil marriage record. I located a January 1896 civil birth record for their first child Bridget. See below. I assume they left for America soon after. I found Patrick's death record in 1924. Julia did not die until 1961. There is a daughter, Agnes Mulkerrins, shown as the informant. She lived in Lissadoill townland in Kilthomas civil parish.

I too am trying to find the Fallon family in Ireland.  I have that Eleanora Fallon married a James Turley and one of their children was James Turley who married Bridget Guinan and they had my grandfather John A. Turley.

To get back to the Fallon family, I though I had found Eleanora's parents but when I checked the dates it would have been impossible since they were younger than their children.  And the same goes for their parents.  I am so confused having only been at this about a little over a year and having no help from any family members.  I have found the grandchildren of my grandfather's younger brother Michael Francis (Frank) but they haven't been any help either, lol.  I am retired so I have the most time to spend on research still I seem to have hit a brick wall.  I don't  know if I am related to any of the same Fallon's as Kim.  It is so hard when you really don't know what you are looking for.  I do know that my Turley side came from Galway (Clontuskert, Ballinasloe, Galway).

Any help on where to look or search would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kathy Turley Stevens

Hi Kathy,

As you quer related to a different area of Galway it may be more appropriate to start a new message and assign to Clontuskert Parish.

Hi - Agnes Mulkerrins was my grandmother - -her parents being Patrick Fallon and Julia Lally - I am still living in the area if you need anymore information - Lorraine Mulkerrins

Lorraine so glad to hear from you!

We're certainly cousins.  Patrick Fallon was my great great uncle. His brother was Thomas Joseph Fallon who came to Boston from Castle Daly. He married twice his first Wife was Mahoney from Cork & mother of  8 children. She passed in 1913 and in 1916 he married Honora Hughes from Ballinamore Bridge very near Ballygar.  They had one daughter Margaret Ann Fallon my grandmother.  I e struggled to get to the right Fallon's in Galway prior to that generation of Patrick and Thomas.  I found a descendant Del Maxwell who matched my DNA Patrick's 2nd gr grandson . But I'm curious if you know anything about the parents.
 

My great grandfathers death cert lists a Michael Fallon which would be both our 2nd great grandfather his wife was  Mary O'Brien. I'm going to attach a few photos of my tree. It stops with Michael & Mary. I suspect they had more children. I think a daughter named Winifred? Thomas,s first Daughter was Mary Winifred and my guess is she is named for her mother Mary O Brien and for her grandmother whom I'd bet money is Wnifred O'Brien! 

I hope you can help with more siblings of Thomas and Patrick and more information on their parents! I have a lot of US documentation on Thomas's family. Including photos I'd love to share. Do you have photos of Patrick and Julia? I'd love to see.  After my grandmother died in 2015 I made a lot of discoveries through DNA which led me to the first photo of her father Thomas I'd ever seen. He died a year after she was born of the Spanish flu of 1918. I don't think she ever saw a photo of him. But I see a resemblance.  Other names that may be related Finnerty, O'Brien, Freeny, & Brady's from Ballygar 

this is from the other cousin Del Maxwell and was his grandmother visiting her cousin

Marie Margaret Fallon Cousin Hint

1 Dec 1955

Her cousin is Michael Bernard Finnerty and Mary née Freenyfrom Ballynacurragh, Galway, Ireland; Copied from The Boston Globe; 1 Dec 1955 

Well look forward to seeing if any of this sounds familiar! We can take to a private email kaha58@aol.com if you like then I can email you the photos.

Best Regards
