Looking for Family Gallagher or Foley in Carracastle (Fauleens) and Charlestown

Hi

I'm quite new to searching for records in Ireland and have cast my net wide by including so many suranmes in the subject of this posting.

I am specifically interetsed in Gallagher's and Foley's in and around Charlestown and Carracastle (Fauleens).  Any information would be great and finding a relative would be amazing.  I know this is where the family came from, but finding the right John or Patrick Gallagher is another matter entirely!  The other names I have listed married into my tree, but I know they all came from the same area, so I'm hoping it might ring a bell with someone and if it does please get in touch.

Here we go, listed by how they related to me:

Gt Gt Grandparents Level:

John Gallagher (b. abt 1830) + Margaret Fleming (b. abt 1831) married Carracastle 11 Jun 1850

Thomas Foley  (b. abt 1830)  + Bridget Griffin (b. abt 1830) married Carracastle 15 Jan 1851

DOB's are a guess but the names come from my Gt Grandparent marriage record and I found their marraige dates and location on rootsireland.ie.

Gt Grandparents Level:

Patrick Gallagher (b.1853 in Carracastle) + Mary Foley (b.1856) married in Boston 1877

They got married in Boston Ma., but travelled back to Ireland and then moved permanently to Wigan. I have no info on any siblings on Gallagher side but believe I found the following for Mary Foley both living at House 23 in Barroe (Cloonmore, Mayo).

Michael Foley (b. abt 1852) - Mary's brother

Michael Foley (b. 1889) - Mary's nephew and living in Wigan with Mary at the time of 1911 census.

Grandparents Level:

Patrick & Mary had two children in Ireland and the rest in Wigan.  I have some family photos of decendents at a house in Fauleens where the family visited each summer.

Catherine Gallagher (b.1886 in Carracastle) + Patrick Frain (b.1885 in Carracastle)

Some of Catherines decendents moved back to Ireland (Horkan, Geraghty, Mulligan) and I think they all came from the same area.  Catherine and Patrick remained in Wigan.

Margaret Gallagher  (b.1879 in Charlestown) married a John Gibbon but stayed around Wigan.

Mary Gallagher (b.1891 Wigan) + Edmund O'Shaughnessy (b1883 probably in same area)

I mention this level as it is their son Bernard Shaugnessy who is in the Fauleens photos.

Finding a relative is a longshot I know, but I live in hope.

i.e. I hope to hear from someone soon ;-)
