Found out more from relatives.
Dennis Fallen died in 1904, Glasgow aged 66. I think he must have been older given he married in Jan 1842 see above.
Bridget his wife died earlier in 1891/
Patrick their son died in 1915. They also had another son Owen who married a Sarah Gallagher in 1869 in Scotland.
Hello there,
I believe we are related via the Fallen family. Our 3 x great grandfparents on my mother's maternal line were Denis and Bridget Fallen from Ireland. From census information 1871-1891 for this couple, they lived at 10 Castlebank St, Partick, and Denis was a shipbuilder labourer. According to each of these census returns, he would have been born in Ireland about 1815- 19 or so, and his wife Bridget (maiden name also Fallen) would have been born about 1813-1817. Both of their death certificates show ages that do not tally with the Scottish census returns - ie Bridgette was not aged 60 at the time of her death in 1891, but about 77 years old, and Denis would have been about 85 in 1904.
Most of the children this couple had were born in Ireland in the 1840's-1850's - I know of John Owen (Owen) Fallen b Ireland c.1847 (2x G Grandfather); Catherine Fallen 1848-98; Peter(Patrick) Fallen b.1852, Denis Fallen, 1858-1929.
It is very interesting that you discovered this couple were from Sligo and I would love to know the source material you have to research further.
Many thanks,
Ruth
