I'd love to see if I have a connection. My GGGM is Anne "Bridget" Galvin born 1858 in Kilcleah Westmeath to Michael Galvin born 1827 in Ballyloughloe West Meath. I believe Michael's father is a Thomas Galvin (Not sure of date born) born in Ardagh Moate Ireland and his mother is Mary McGrath (Not sure of date born) with both mother and father dying in Ballinara West Meath. I have a William Galvin Born 1824 in Ballyloughloe as a possible brother to Michael. I'm firm on My GGGM and her father but less than 100% on the Thomas Galvin, Mary McGrath and William Galvin. I believe there might be other siblings to Michael but I haven't found any. If there is a connection to your John Galvin I thought you might help fill out this line. Thanks for any possible help you may give.
John Galvin was born to Patrick Galvin & Bridget Loughnan, in Clanmacnois on 05 Dec 1841
John Galvin married Honor (Anne) Murphy at Clonmacnois 03 Feb 1868
John is my great-great grandfather.
They had four sons, Patrick, Thomas, John & James.
Three immigrated to the States, ending up n Connecticut & NY. Patrick, Thomas & John.
According to Patrick's Obiturary from Waterbury, CT ~1935, James stayed at home, in Ireland. (He may have moved to Moate, Westmeath later in life).
Patrick is my great grandfather.
Patrick Galvin married in Waterbury, Ct 21 Aug 1901 to a very local girl, Kate McEvoy (from Laurencetown / Clonfert/ Galway). ** i have a public ancestry tree**. the lived in Waterbury, had 8 kids. he worked in the Mills as a Blacksmith.
i am still trying to figure out about the relation to my "Uncle Tommy" Galvin. i have realized that he is actually likely a distant cousin. he immigrated 30 years after most of my line, in the 1929 but is a cousin somewhere. i didn't start diving into the family history until i was older. but his daughter is actually the one that shed light on the town "Shannonbridge" and that we have people buried at Clonmacnois. i've been researching ever since.
