Hi John

Thanks for your reply, I think my Mary Gallagher and your Gallagher's are somehow connected, the map reference on the Griffiths Valuation shows a Michael Gallagher reference no 7 and a John Gallagher reference no 8 in Puntabeg.  Reference no 6 shows a Anthony Haran farming there, don't know if that name rings any bells with you.

If you have any further info on the Gallagher's I would love to hear it.  We have just come back from Charlestown.  In 1948 my husband went back with his grandfather to sell the farm because everybody had by that time died, they sold the farm to a family named Mulligan's and last year we made contact with them, and they invited us to go back to see the farm.  My husband remembered Tom Mulligan as a child and he is still farming there today.  My husband had great memories of staying in the farm house and going to school there as a ten year old with the Mulligan children for a short while.  We took back pictures that were taken in 1948 of the Harrington's and Mulligan's and they were delighted to see them.

We have done a lot of research on the Harrington side of the family but the Gallagher's are proving a little more difficult because all we know is that they were from Puntabeg.

Hi Ratcliff,

well done that certainly looks like her, when I checked the marriage on BMD 1910 of Eli Forshaw it says that spouse not found, do you know why that would be.

Just looked on Lanc's BMD and it gives his spouse as Polly Chippendale, I do know that some people with the name Mary were know as Polly so thanks so much for finding this I have been looking for her for ages.

Thanks Radcliff I did have her baptism.

Hi

Sorry there are no MI's in the Tower of Sark and Half Morton booklet for any of the names you are looking for.
