Hugh Gallagher and Bridget(Biddy) Hanlon -How many children?
« on: Wednesday 02 May 18 11:30 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am trying to establish how many children my Great grandparents had.
They were Hugh Gallagher and Bridget (Biddy) Hanlon from Dooey,Lettermacaward.
They were married on 11/2/1868. I can find 4 children on Familysearch
Hanna
James
Susan
Mary
I can identify a further 3 children from the 1901 census
Hugh
Patrick (my Grandfather)
John
I know there was another daughter called
Bridget
Does anyone have any advice and guidance on how to check if there were any other children?
Thanks.
Paul.

Were the alive in 1911?

The Census return would say how many children born, alive, dead!

Birth certs are free to view on Irish Genealogy
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
unfortunately these early dates won't have the mother's maiden name on the index so you have to look at a lot of Gallagher births in between the ones you know about.

Reg district is Glenties
