Finding my 4th Great Grandparents

[RSGrosse]

Hello.  I recently found information about my 3rd great grandmother who came to the US from Liverpool in 1834.  According to the ship's record she arrived at Ellis Island alone.  Now I am searching for her parents.  It appears that she born in County Galway.  One map on Ancestry shows that she was born close to Banagher; however, I don't see any indication that Banagher is in Galway.

Here is the information I have about my 3rd great grandmother.  Any help is greatly appreciate.  I realize that her surname is not unique, so this could be a challenge.

Rosanna MacCormick
1818–1880
BIRTH 1818 • Ireland
DEATH AFT. 1880 • Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky, USA
3rd great-grandmother

There is a townland in Co. Galway called Banagher.  It is located northwest of Tuam.

Thanks.  Now I'll see if I can find anything via that town.

Thanks.  Now I'll search the appropriate censuses.

I suggest you look for a baptism on https://www.rootsireland.ie/ - you'll have to register & pay a subs [you can get one for a day] to see details. Does her marriage certificate state her father's name/occupation?

You could also browse the parish registers on https://registers.nli.ie/ They are not indexed, so you need to browse the register for the year(s) of interest. You know the likely parish.

There are no full Ireland census till 1901 & 1911 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ although fragments survive for some areas in previous years.

I've never seen her marriage certificate; however, I do know that she was a spinster when she came to the US from Liverpool in 1834.

If you can locate the marriage record/certificate it'll be a very important document to further your research.

Do you know if she travelled alone?
