Delany / Delaney of Cork and Kerry

[Gilby]

From the Dublin Morning Register, 25th June 1825:

In Cork, at the house of his uncle (Alexander McCarthy, Esq.) Alexander Lawlor, Esq., M.D., of Castlelough, near Killarney.

[John Falvey]

You're a star!

[Gilby]

So Hugh Lawlor, father of Michael Hugh Lawlor (1786-1824), was brother of Martin Lawlor who married Mary Ann McCarthy?

Is that the same Hugh Lawlor who was a doctor?  And there's a Hugh Lawlor who married Anastasia Gallwey.  I've lost track - I'm not sure if they're all one person, or three different people!

[John Falvey]

There are two Hughes.

One married Annastatia Gallwey and had five daughters:
1. Hanora married John Shea;
2. Margaret Mary living unmarried in 1825;
3. Juliana married James Magill;
4. Ellen married Daniel Duggan;
5. Catherine Francis

The other married Eliza Mahony and had:
1. Michael Hugh
2. Mary Ann
3. Hugh
4. James
5. Elisabeth

Ok, thanks, and was Hugh Lawlor married to Anastasia Gallwey a doctor?  I have these notes (possibly from you) which suggest yes...

- In 1785 Gallweys granted land of Gurteenroe to Hugh Lawlor ... in 1817 Dr. Hugh Lawlor left this land in trust to Daniel Cronin and Dominick Rice.
- Daniel Duggan who is mentioned in Dr. Hugh deeds married Ellen Lawlor (daughter of a Hugh) ... they named a daughter Anastatia Duggan

[John Falvey]

That sounds about right.

The other Hugh may have been an apothecary.

I’m not sure if we’ve mentioned this couple on this thread before.  I’m interested because Mary may have been a sister or cousin of Patrick Delany who married Mary Lawlor (of Castlelough).  I don’t know whether Andrew is related to any of the other Mahonys that have been mentioned…?

Andrew was son of James Mahony of The Point, the second son of Daniel Mahony.

Interesting!  What are the source(s) for that?

I had thought the Patrick Delany - Mary Lawlor marriage was a one-off connection to the Lawlor/Mahony crowd but apparently not.  I still know very little about my Delanys of Glengarriff.
