Bridget Boland, Lisaniska North/Derrew

[jjtjr]

I am looking for more information on the family of my Great-Grandmother Bridget Boland. Before her marriage she probably originally lived in Lisinaska North in Killimor Bologue Parish. She married Edward Treacy on Jan. 20, 1857 in Killimor, Galway. The witnesses were John Boland & Michael Burke. They lived at a farm at Derrew, Kilquain Parish, South of Killimor and North of Portumna. There were Boland families living in Lisaniska North, which is about 3 miles Northwest of Derrew and in Muingbaun (Clonkelagh or Clonkela), which borders and is just North of Derrew. Bridget & Edward had 10 children. She is listed in Tracey’s of Galway page 2 and in the 1901 Irish Census for Derrew, Kilquain. She died Jan. 20, 1907 Killimor, Galway.

I found records of a Bridget Boland born either on Jan. 15, 1828 in Tynagh, Galway or on both June 15, 1830 & July 8, 1834 in Ballinasloe, Galway.

There were many different Boland’s who acted as witnesses at Treacy Family events:

John Treacy & Winifred Scully 5Mar1859 Portumna Martin Boland & Mary Broderick
John Boland & Mary Treacy 30Jan1861 Killimor Martin Boland & Mary Burke

There is no record of Bridget Boland being born to them, but this Boland family matches the other events better than anything else that I have found:

James Boland & Mary McDonagh were married Feb. 27, 1832 in Tynagh. They moved to the Killimor area. A James Boland age 73 died in 1879 and a Mary Boland age 76 died in 1880 both in the Portumna area. 5 children:

Farril? born 1833 in Killimor & another born Jul. 21, 1834, probably died as an infant.
Martin born Jan. 25, 1835 in Killimor, a Martin Boland is a Sponsor at the 1860 Baptism of Bridget Tressy, Michael’s sister.
Thomas born Dec. 8, 1841 in Killimor, a Thomas Boland is listed as a Sponsor at the 1864 Baptism of Catherine Trassy, Michael’s Sister.
Laurence born May 8, 1844 in Killimor, a Laurence Boland is listed as a Sponsor at the 1866 Baptism of Michael Treacy.
Anne born Oct. 16, 1846 in Killimor, an Anne Boland is listed as a Sponsor at the 1866 Baptism of Michael Treacy.

I have found out from an Irish cousin who knows an elderly relative of Bridget Boland, that Bridget Boland and Edward Treacy were first cousins.

I still can not find a record of birth for Bridget Boland, but because Edward Treacy's mother was Mary Egan, I now think that these might be her parents:

Thomas Boland & Margaret Egan, I found records of 3 children:
John Boland, born 29 Mar1834 in Killimor, a John Boland is listed as a Witness at the 1857 Marriage of Edward Treacy & Bridget Boland. A John Boland married a Mary Treacy possibly Edward’s Sister Jan. 30, 1861 in Killimor.
Fergus Boland born 1842 in Killimor.
Bernard Boland born Apr. 29, 1845 in Killimor, a Bernard Boland is listed as a Sponsor at the 1869 Baptism of Sarah Treacy, Michael’s Sister.

I still can't match these people to Bridget Boland, any suggestions?

Thanks
