Hi,

I am looking for any help and to find out about my ancestors who came from Loughrea, Galway and moved to and settled in Greenock, Scotland. Their names are Michael Gorman and his wife was Bridget O'Donnell. Michael Gorman is born about 1815 and Bridget is born in about 1811. The family are Catholic.

In terms of a time frame for where they left all I know is that by 1835 they are in Greenock and their first son has been born. Below is what I have about the family and their parents.

Michael Gorman (b. 1815) marries Bridget O'Donnell (b. 1811)  about 1835, perhaps the year before. His parents are Michael Gorman and Rose McDonald.

Bridget O'Donnell's parents are Hugh O'Donnell and Mary McGarvie. All are from Ireland.

Michael Gorman once he is in Greenock lists his profession as primarily broker, though later he is listed as dealer in goods.

In 1871 in the Scottish census they have a family member staying at their house from Ireland. Elizabeth O'Donnell, who is 18 and is listed as Neice.

It would be wonderful if I could find out more about them and the family they left behind in Ireland. Thanks in advance for any information and help that anyone offers.

Best wishes,

Karen Bain
