James Gallagher Newtown Stewart
« on: Saturday 01 June 13 20:44 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help.

I am trying to locate more details for a James Gallagher who was born in Drumnashammer, Co. Donegal, circa 1877. By 1908, he seems to be in Newtown Stewart. In the 1911 census, I think the same James Gallagher lives at 13 Main Street with his wife, Annie and their children. I am having problems locating him in 1901 and I cannot find his marriage details.

In 1911, his children are Annie Josephine, age 4, Andy John, age 2 and Anthony Redmond, age 1.

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
   In 1901 there was a 24 year old James Gallagher, a Tea Agent, boarding in a house in Ballyheerin, Fanad West, Co. Donegal.

Thank you!

Of course, a tea agent! He was a tea merchant in 1911. I was looking in Tyrone and the part of Donegal in which he was born. I know he was in Tyrone in 1908 so I was getting fixated on that area.

Thanks again.

It is lovely to hear from you.

My great grandmother was James's sister, Mary Anne. Do you know much about the family in Drumnashamer? I believe their parents were Anthony and Anne. Other than this, I know nothing.

He came from Donegal to Newtownstewart Co Tyrone  and married  a woman of the same surname. He has relatives living in Letterkenny Co Donegal..,can i ask where you live?He still has one surviving daughter. Kind regards.

Hello,
My apologies for the delay in replying. Thank you for the information. So there are still relatives in Letterkenny! That is wonderful news. I live in Sussex so don't get over to Ireland very often. If you were able to find any information about Mary Anne and her family, I would be grateful. All of her children except one left the area and moved all over the world, therefore I know little about the family in Letterkenny.
Best wishes.
