Hurley's in Galway

Dom:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I was unable to locate the 1855 baptismal record for Michael. The records for Kilbegnet/Glinsk RC parish start in 1836 for baptisms and 1834 for marriages. Here is a link to the parish register up until 1880. https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0553   You likely will not find records for John Patrick.

I found a transcription of Michael's 1883 civil marriage record to Catherine Kirrane and on this record his father was shown as John which matches your notes.

Let me know what questions you have.

Dom--My understanding is that I am descended from a line of Hurleys who are also from Kilbegnet parish--perhaps we are related.  My great-great-great grandfather was Jeremiah Hurley, born in Kilbegnet Parish in 1797.  His children included Patrick Henry (b. 1827), John (b. 1829), Michael (b. 1833), and my great-great grandfather Bernard (b. 1836).  While some of the names are in common, the years are not, so I don't know how helpful this will be to you.  More information about this line of Hurleys is available in the attached document and at iagenweb.org/blackhawk/people/families/hurley1 .htm,

Somewhere, I have a family tree that dates back to the 16th century.  If I can find that, I will let you know--it may contain some additional information that could be helpful to you in your endeavors.  

Thanks.  Dan
