  • Hi Alice,

    I can understand your frustration. Firstly may I ask where you have gotten your information about Edward P Galligan from? I haven't been able to find a Danesbridge listed as a townsland or as a place on the map of Ireland. So I think if we can start there and see where it takes us.

    Regards

  • I believe this came from a poorly researched tree on Ancestry for Edwd Galigan, Below is the linked source transcription:

    Birth 1807, Dansbridge, Cavan, Cavan, Ireland. is linked to this source:

    Name Edward Galligan

    Baptism Age 0

    Event Type Baptism

    Birth Date 1807

    Baptism Date 8 May 1807

    Baptism Place Castlepollard, Westmeath, Ireland

    The baptism is given correctly just below the birth.

  • Hi again

    I had a problem connecting Edward with his parents with the information give, however when I looked at the online written copy of his baptism record I believe the following is correct. 

    Edward Galligan

    Baptism May 8th 1807

    Father: Peter Galligan.   Mother: Margaret Keogh (not Reagh)

    Sponsors: Patrick Dolan and Catherine 

    If I find any other information I will pass it on here

     

    Regards

    Paul
