Thanks, I figured that might be the case.
I also came up with another possible match on the Tithe Applotments:
Pat Tracy, Rosmore, Ballynakill, Galway, Ballynakill is about 11 km South of Tynagh, the name is a match, but again no way to link him yet to my family.
I have another question, I know that my Great-Grandmother was Bridget Boland. I have a Church Marriage Record that she married Edward Treacy in Killimor, Galway on 20 Jan 1857. There were no parents named for either spouse, but the witnesses were John Boland and Michael Burke. I know that she died at age 67 in Derrew, Eyrecourt, Galway on 20 Jan 1907. Edward Teacy was the Informant.
I have found 2 different Church Baptism Records for her name.
One is for Bridget Bolan, in Ballinasloe, Galway, born 8 July 1834 and baptized 21 July 1834. The Father was Bernard Bolan and the Mother was Bridget (Not Recorded). The witnesses were Arnold Sellars and Mary Coen.
The second is for Bridget Boland, in Tynagh, Galway, baptized 15 Jan 1828. The Father was Michael Boland and the Mother was Bridget Nugent. The witnesses were John Boland and Banthee Kinvoie.
Is the second birth more likely to be my relative, due to the Tynagh connection and haveing a John Boland as a witness to both the marriage and birth?
Thanks.
