My great grandmother was Catherine Fallon, born in Bilston, Staffordshire, England approx 1860, daugter of Irish immigrants Thomas Fallon and Catherine (maiden name unknown)Fallon. Great great grandfather Thomas Fallon born approx 1840 in co Laois (possibly Clonaslee) to Bridget DUNNE and Patrick Fallon. Bridget DUNNE was born in co Laois approx 1820, daughter of Thomas DUNNE. Bridget's husband Patrick Fallon died young and Bridget remarried to James May in Chesterfield Derbyshire, England in 1860. Bridget DUNNE and Patrick Fallon had at least one other child - Michael Fallon, also born around 1840 and married Margaret Quinn in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England in 1867. All were living in Whittington Derbyshire in 1870's and early 1880's.
Per search of Griffith's primary valuation - there were only 3 "Fallon" entries - one of which was in Mountmellick (where there were also Dunnes).
Anyone have any information on these families?
Also - does anyone have access to the TITHE APPLOTMENT records for Clonaslee or Mountmellick - wondering if any FALLON's are listed??
Thank you.
