Milltown, Co Galway
« on: Thursday 22 January 09 03:32 UTC (UK) »
Hello

Much to my joy I have just seen on the 1911 census that my Great-Grandfather Patrick Loughlin gives his birthplace as Milltown

Safe to say i'm more then pleased the 1911 census was the first when you filled in your own name etc - the last two census' have left more answers then questions - in that they give places that don't exist.

Milltown very much so exists  Grin

My question is, Where would you go from here?

I know Milltown is a small place so might i have to go to Galway City perhaps if i want to find more (if there are anymore) records?

Anyone know where I can get anything (books, websites etc) that concern Milltown history - I looked but can find nothing as yet.

Thankyou

Jonathan

you can look through the Co. Galway Parishes at this link at the Irish Times : http://www.rootschat.com/links/055d/  - each link shows a list of townlands included.

once you find the parish there is a list of parishes available on microfilm at the National Library in Dublin - see http://www.nli.ie

Galway Parish Records (transcripts) are also available on the pay site on Irish Family History Foundation - http://www.irish-roots.ie

the townland database at http://seanruad.com shows two places named Milltown in Co. Galway :

(Townland /Barony    / Civil Parish    /  PLU - registration district
Milltown         Dunmore    Addergoole    Tuam    
Milltown         Tiaquin    Kilkerrin    Glennamaddy
