I have birth cert for Mary Ann Teresa Gallagher b 1843 Manchester, England. Her father Patrick Gallagher and mother Elizabeth Swalthy.

I have found on Irishgenealogy.ie. baptism for Elizabeth Swalthy 26 July 1812 her father John Swalthy mother Elizabeth Barry. There are also two other baptisms to these parents for Margaret Swalthy b 1804 and Bartholomew b1809.  I cannot find a marriage for John  Swalthy and Elizabeth Barry.

Another that popped up was a baptism for a William Swalthy 1797 a son to John Swalthy and Elizabeth Barry but its at St. Marys, Cork City, Cork & Ross.

Swalthy seems an unusual name to me. Appreciate anyhelp with ideas: I wonder if this is the same John & Elizabeth and they moved from Cork to Dublin then at some point Elizabeth married Patrick Gallagher and moved to England.

  • I am reviewing records and it looks as if I never replied to you. I am so sorry and wish to say thank you so much for sending the certificates. They have not solved the problem but I think they might well be a piece of the puzzle.

    Thanks again and I do apologize.
