I'm trying to find out who my grandfather was.
My mother, Elizabeth Ann Earley (married name Gallagher) was born on 9 July, 1933 (possibly in Strabane) Her mother was Eva Georgina Earley b1913 from Strabane.
Eva's parents were Michael and Annie Earley (nee McCallion). Eva's brothers and sisters were Patrick, William John, Hugh, Elizabeth Margaret, Robert, Joseph, Winifred May, Michael Enorch Colomba. Eva married Patrick Cummings and had more children. They lived in Limavady.
My mother Elizabeth (known as Nancy) was put into Nazareth House (Sisters of Nazareth Convent) in Derry shortly after birth by her mother. There was no father listed on her birth certificate.
My mother was taken out of Nazareth House aged 15 and lived with her mother briefly before she turned her back out on the street. My mother then made her way to Derry where she met my father, James Edward Gallagher. They married and had eight children, of which, I am the last.
I would be very grateful of any help to track my unknown grandfather's lineage.
