Gallagher/Maloney/Sweeney/Heena - Ardara
« on: Friday 17 June 05 13:41 UTC (UK) »

 Smiley hello,

I have done lots of work on my own family tree and have decided to tackle my husbands tree which is not proving so easy!  Can anyone suggest how I go about starting?

Here's what I know so far:

Noel Gallagher b. 1951, Ballhill Youth Hostel, Donegal (his parents were running the hostel).  Brothers Ray and Nick Gallagher.  Their parents were:

Patrick Gallagher b. 1911 Donegal and Mary Christina Maloney b. 1917 Donegal.  They both died in Birmingham, England.

The parents of Patrick Gallagher (b. 1911) were Patrick Gallagher and Anne Henne.  They both died in Ardara.  Patrick had 4 brothers (Danny, Eddie, Joseph, Dennis) and 2 sisters (Kathleen & Bridget)

I don't know the names of Mary Maloney's parents except surnames were Maloney and Sweeney.  Mary had a sister called Ethna who married John McCabe (Ardara)

The Heena name seemingly does not originate from Ireland and was taken to Ireland when a ship wrecked off Donegal and the 2 brothers who survived were named Henne.  I can't find anything of great significance in my search for the Henne name either.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Lindsay

Lindsay:
Take a look at this item. http://www.cupoftaefestival.com/   A Cliona Henne is listed as one of the Performers on Saturday evening.  Seems as if the Hennes and Gallaghers are still going strong in Ardara. Try a Google or similar search using variations of name.

Good Luck,

Pat

Maloney families in SW Donegal were clustered around Ardara, Crove and Carrick (in the Parish of Glencolumbkille).  There was a James Maloney married to a Susan Sweeney living in the townland of Aughera in the Teelin/Carrick area, but they had children between 1866 and 1885.  This Susan was from the townland of Staleel in Glencolumbkille.

If you found the parents of the Mary Maloney you mention, post a reply.

Good luck,
Mike

Hi,

I'm a grandaughter of Ethna and John Mc Cabe, Ardara, Co. Donegal.  Ethna and John had seven children all of whom are alive, Phonsie is my father.  Ethna's mother was Annie Sweeney and her father was Patrick Maloney.

Ray and one of his brothers came to visit in the past. 

Grandad (John Mc Cabe) passed away 5years ago.  Ethna is still alive and due to celebrate her 90th birthday on the 2nd Nov 2009. 

I'd love to hear from you and more about your husband's family.

Donna. Smiley
