You are getting into 'recent' history so perhaps there's someone in the family who could fill in a few more details? Do you know if Hugh and Ann got married in Ireland or England?

Re-reading the original message- it's doubtful "3x great grandparents" would have been born in 1920s, etc. so could you verify the dates please (will make a huge difference to advice)

The latest available U.K. census is 1911- so did you mean to say "I think they came to england in 1848 there names were ann and hugh Gallagher hugh was born in 1825 and ann 1828" ?

That's okay- can now give you some information/advice 

Firstly, Ireland was part of the U.K. so no records were kept of people travelling between Ireland and England, Wales and Scotland.

Civil registration of births in Ireland started later than in England (1864) so there will be no birth certificates for the family. However, son Barney's Welsh birth certificate will list names of both parents so you will then get Ann's maiden name.

Was Barney the eldest child you've found? if so, once you know Ann's maiden name then look for marriage in Wales (registration of Catholic marriages in Ireland started 1864 so probably too late, registration of non-Catholic ones including Registry Office started 1845).
