Mullahy / Mulcahy

[lisa23]

Hi. I am researching Ellen Mullahy / Mulcahy b. 1835 in Galway Ireland. She came out to Tasmania, Australia as a convict in 1852. She is the daughter of James and Mary. Her siblings were  Thomas, John, Martin, Mary, Bridget and Catherine. I am having trouble finding anything on her parents and siblings. Any help would be appreciated on this family. I have all the details of Ellen but was trying to get more details from the Galway search. Thanks. Lisa

Lisa on www.nationalarchives.ie Griffiths Valuation records there are records showing for possible siblings of Ellen i.e Martin Mullahy Parish of Kilbennan Galway 1855 2 records - Thomas Mullahy Parish Kilconla Galway 1855 1 record.
The above may not be around by the 1901 census available on above site.  You could search on www.irishgenealogy.ie Civil records for Marriages/Deaths for Mullahys.  Civil reg wasnt introduced in Ireland until 1864.
If you can establish a Parish location for Mullahys the Roman Catholic Church records are online www.registers.nli.ie
In the 1901 Census Townland of URRACLY (same townland for Thomas Mullahy in Griffiths) there is a Mullahy family DED is FOXHALL Galway may be family you are researching

My Great grandfather was a Thomas Mullahy - born Galway 1807 (dob 1878) - he is buried in Kilconly parish graveyard - my Grandfather and father are buried in the same spot - Main Section Plot No 82 -
 photo available - 'www.irishgraveyards.ie/plot.php?plotno=82&yardid=127?&section=Main' -he could be the sibling of Ellen you were looking for - she travelled on the John William Dare to Tasmania(1852)? - I have been unable to any further details on her after that.
Hope this helps.

Hi Maisiemoo
I have a lot of info on my Ellen Mullahy (Mulcahy) once she came to Tasmania but none prior except her parents and siblings names. There is a big gap between Thomas and Ellen’s birth year. 1807 - 1835. Not impossible though. Do you know if Thomas’s parents were James and Mary? Or have you found connections to the other siblings. I have been trying to find info but cannot as yet confirm any connections.
Regards
Lisa

Hi Lisa 23,
Afraid I don't have any further information on the parents. I think my Great Great Grandfather's name may have been Thaddeus/Thomas but not confirmed. Do you know if Ellen was of the Kilconla/Kilconly Mullahy's?
A few other snippets of information which may be of help to you -
record of both a Bridget(23) and a Mary(24) Mullahy having sailed Liverpool to New York on 4th Feb 1851 on 'Roscius' -
also record of a Thomas Mullahy (1816-1879) in Galway 'Petty Sessions Court Registers 1828-1912'

Hi, I have recently come to find that Thomas and Margaret Mullahy are my third great grandparents, I would absolutely love if you could help with any family information please? My mum didnt know her father and after doing a dna test i have come to find he was one of Thomas Mullahy and Mary Hardimans children, James Anthony Mullahy.
