:)Hi
Would welcome contact from anyone with an interest in the GANLEY surname.
My connection starts with Bartholomew Ganley born about 1827 in Sligo. The Durham 1861C shows him married to Mary nee Flaherty and settled in Sunderland.
I have gathered quite a lot of information from upwards of 1855 in respect of their children and I am willing to share.
Regards
Sue

Sue,
I'm searching for the parents of James Ganley, born 11/19/1844 in Ireland per US cencus records. I have recently found several RC baptismal records listing Sligo as place of origin/?birth. He had a brother , Philip Andrew Ganley, born ca.1845 in Maine US. Possible siblings include John, Thomas and Catherine. I can't rule out the Ganly spelling in Ireland. Do you see any possible connections?

Hi Joe
Thanks for posting a response. Unfortunately, I am unable to connect to your information. I have been unable to obtain any further information on Bartholomew Ganley born c1827 Sligo, Ireland.
To be quite truthful, I am unsure on how to search for the birth information in Ireland, so any helpful hints or ideas would be appreciated.
There were a few Ganleys in Sunderland, Engalnd in the 1850's and I have a fair bit of baptism & marriage information on the children born Sunderland but nothing at all from Ireland.
If anything does turn up to suggest we may connect I will certainly post another reply.
Good luck with your search.

My name is Nigel Ganley and im from Co. Galway Ireland; I’m currently researching the history of the Ganley name and ancestors. In relation to the comment above, it caught my attention, as my grandfather’s name is James Ganley, originally from glenamaddy born in 1916 perhaps there is some connection there?
If anybody has any more information in relation to the ganley name please contact me...
Regards,
Nigel Ganley.

Hi Nigel
Sorry I have no James Ganley b 1916 in Ireland. My research starts from Bartholomew Ganley born c1826 and in the Durham 1851 Census he gave his place of birth as Roscommon, Ireland. However, in the Durham 1861 Census it was given as Sligo, Ireland.
He did not show up on the Durham 1841 Census so can only presume he came over to England between 1841 & 1851. Regretfully, I have been unable to get any further back than the 1851 Census, so have no idea of his parents or brothers.
I have found other Ganley individuals from the Catholic Parish Records in Sunderland but have not been able to link any of the individuals to Bartholomew.
If you are interested, I have plenty of information on the descendants of Bartholomew, although some parts are sketchy. Let me know what it is you are interested in and I will pass it on.
Regards
Sue

Hiya, gang!
Bartholomew Ganly (Original spelling) is my great grandfather. He was known as Bartley for short, and was born in Sligo circa 1830, married Ellen Scanlon, and had three, possibly four, children: Bartho, Thomas, Michael, and James ( my grandfather, born circa 1867 in Sligo).
If any of you out there have more info....please send it my way. We're all probably related, to one extent or another.
Very Truly Yours,
James Benson Ganley

whilst researching ancestors in Sligo I came across the name of Matt Ganley, legendary faction fighter and guard to mail coaches from Boyle to Sligo Town, this is all around 1840/50s.
Boyle is the town in which Ganley is mentioned.

Hi,
I am searching for "Gandley's". My gr-gr-gr grandfather was Matthew Gandley who was born in Ireland and went to Birmingham eventually. I have him in Birmingham in the 1861 census. His children seem to be in the gun industry. His wife was Mary Morris.
Over the years I have seen the name spelt Gandley, Ganly, Ganley. Many variations.

I will try and dig out some more information from home as my family has produce a Ganley book some years ago.
Message me if you want to know more.

Did Bartolomew have a sister Mary by any chance?
My Great grandmother was born around 1830 also and also married an O'Flaherty.

Hi Tracey
Sorry Tracey, I do not know if Bartholomew had any brothers or sisters.
Do your GANLEYs feature in Sunderland at all?

Dear Sue,
It seems like Mary Ganly came out of no where when she married Patrick O'Flaherty. At EASTMAYO.ORG they are gradually putting all marraige and Birth notices on line for all to see. I found their sons wedding date that way and I contacted them and they are hoping to have more done shortly.
I am hoping to travel to Ireland next year and go to some churches and lots of graveyards!!!!!!!

Hi Tracey
Thanks for the reply. If I ever come across your Mary & Patrick, I will certainly pass it on.
I hadn't heard of EASTMAYO.ORG, may well have to pay it a visit. I always feel the internet is in desperate need of more Irish BMDs but have been told that the Irish are very protective and you have to contact relevant parishes to see the Parish Records.
Hope the trip comes off to Ireland, you lucky thing.
Best wishes
Sue

You know that they have heritage sites in Ireland now that you can trace your family tree,although there is a fee. For example there are two in Mayo,the south and north family history centers.
Back in the day,my mother said that there was one priest for many churches and each would have mass at a different time and all records were kept where the priest kept his main residence. then all the records were sent to the main town of the area for registration which in my case was Castlebar,County Mayo.
If you can find the parish names in or around that time that will help and also there are lots of death records in Ireland at Interment.net.that should help.
Good luck
Tracey.

Hi,
Looking for any information on a Bernard Ganley, born ca. 1847, in Ireland. Could have been known as Barney. Emigrated to U.S. in early 1860's. Lived first in New Jersey then came to live in Connecticut where he died in 1904. Had one son, Denis. If the naming pattern was used, then his father or grandfather would have been a Denis Ganley.
Denis was my grandfather.

Connecticut death certificates usually as for names of parents and date and place of birth- have you gotten his death certificate yet?

I have a Bartholomew Ganley, born circa 1831 in Co. Sligo in my family tree, he was my great great grandmothers brother. I have his father as Bartholomew Ganley, born circa 1791 in Co. Roscommon, died 1840 in Lincolshire, UK and his mother was Mary Honara, born 1793 in Co. Sligo, died 1870 in Lincolnshire, UK. He had many brothers and sisters: John Henry, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, Anne, Thomas, william, James, Catherine. I'm not 100% sure I've got this right but let me know if this could be the Ganley you're looking for.
Cheers

Hi Wendy; I have been trying to trace my fathers history. His name was Thomas (Tom) Kelly and he was born in July 1929. He left us when I was about 3 years old in Forest Gate, East London and I have very little information about him.
I believe his mother was Jane Ann Ganley, (daughter of Bartholomew Ganley and Alice Finnegan).
Jane married a David Kelly in 1915 in Sunderland, England.
I'm afraid the trail went cold for me and although I believe my father may have passed away now I have been unable to establish where although it is likely to have been in Essex.
I have a couple of John Thomas Ganley's in my research and also a couple of Rachel / Rachael's...
Please let me know if I can be of any further help...

I am sorry I dont know of any other siblings apart from a Bartholomew who died when he was around 6 years

Hi,
I have a George Ganly, b. 1789 Co. Roscommon, m. to Elizabeth Hoare b. 1787 in Co. Roscommon. They possibly married in Co. Roscommon. They had a dau. Elizabeth b. 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. It sounds like my George and and your Bartholomew could be related!
Unfortunately I don't have any more information but if you have, please let me know!

Hi Jim!
My name is July. Michael Francis Ganley is my gr-gr grandfather.
He's the son of Bartholomew and Ellen
(proof on the wedding registry of Michael Francis).
I have researched on Ancestry web site, and I have Bartholomew born in 1827 and died in 1902. Mary Eleonoram «Ellen» Scanlan born aug 25 1833 died 1891. They lived in Durham, England. But seems they came back to Ireland. I have 9 childrens. Mary Ann 1858 /Bartley 1860 /Michael 1861/ Thomas 1862/ Batholomeus 1865/ James H 1866/ Christopher 1867/ Bartholomew II 1870 and my gr gr grandfather Michael Francis 1874.
Michael Francis came to Massachussets USA, he had 3 childrens, John Matthew Ganley (my gr grandfather) 1896-1960 James 1898-1898 and Kate 1899.
My family told me that Michael, his wife and the 2 kids, came to Quebec. But they had a car accident in St-Hyacinthe city, and both died leaving the kids to orphenage in that city. My gr grandfather (who was about 6 y.o) was place in a family and kept his name. I'm still trying to find Kate (who was around 3 y.o)
I have the wedding registry of Michael Francis.
I have the wedding and the death registry for Thomas.
The wedding registry for James to Sarah.
That I could send you by email.
Best regards,
July Ganley

On my mother's side of the family I am currently researching the Kelly family from Sunderland and I have come across a Bartholomew Ganley b. 1859 in Sunderland. He married Barbara Ann Goodswen and one of their children was Marian (aka Mary) Alice Ganley b. 19/11/1892 in Sunderland. Marian married my grandfather, Thomas Kelly, who was also born in Sunderland in 1891 (still waiting details from GRO). Thomas Kelly's father was John Kelly and he had a daughter, Rachael b. 31/01/1889 who married John Thomas Ganley in 1913 and their daughter, Rachael, married Elijah Scott.
What I am finding so co-incidental on this 'Ganley' topic is the 'Roscommon' connection as I am stuck (so far) with my father's side of the family (the Moore's) who hailed from Roscommon and I have come to a halt with James Moore b. 1831 in Roscommon. Any information about Marian (Mary) Ganley would be much appreciated.
