Ballintadder

[Gallagher-Doohan]

Ballintadder is a townland in Mayo a short distance to the east from Charlestown.  At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it contained just ten properties.  The surnames of its landholders were Parsons, Gallagher, Finn, Foley, and Hunt.  Their landlord was John Sadlier.  Additional ancestral surnames connected to Ballintadder through marriages, maiden names, etc. in the late 1800s include Gavaghan, McIntyre, Owens, Benson, Casey, Duffy, Fitzgerald, Connor/O'Connor, Leonard, Fleming, Griffin, Hyland, Moran, McLoughlin and Frayne or Frain.  I am descended from Gallaghers of that townland and am pleased to have cousins still living there.  If there are any other members of RootsChat who also trace ancestry to Ballintadder, I would be interested in hearing from them.  Warm regards.
