Hello, two brave girls sailed to Melbourne, Australia on the 17th of December 1841 on the Agostina. Catherine and Ellen Hallahan. My 4x great grandmother is Ellen, I wonder if anyone could give me any clues on if it would be possible to find living family still in Ireland.
Mary 1820. Ellen 1822* July 1824. Catherine, Hannah 1828. Timothy 1830 (went to America) and John 1833
Thank You From Elizabeth Douglas

Elizabeth:
Hello again!
The Tithe records from the 1820s for Inchigeelagh showed there were five Hallahan records.
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…
I checked the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Inchigeelagh civil parish.

There was a Mary Hallahan listed in Graigue townland. Was the mother of the Hallahan children Mary?
I checked the 1901 census for Graigue and there were no Hallahan families living in that townland.
Here is a link to the parish register http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0062 and you can also search www.irishgenealogy.ie

Oh and I forgot to say, Catherine Mahoney born 1802 died December 1882 and was married to William Hallahan I have found nothing on him, just that he has a family member, perhaps a brother Tim who has a farm next to him.
How would I find their church? Perhaps where they may be buried?
