I'm trying to find out information on my great grandparents, James Boyle and Mary Gallagher. Both came from the Donegal area. I have limited information due to both dying early and the family being split up. James may have died 1904/1905, through a railway accident - possibility of being hit by a train. James father was a Patrick Boyle that we know of.
They had three daughters, Catherine, Bridget and Mary. Mary was born 28 September 1904. There is the possibility of a son, James, who died young. This isn't fully known though.
Possibility of being around the Letterkenny/Knockastollor/Bunbeg area. I don't really know what Parishes these are in so that's why I am on the general Donegal site.
Thanking anyone that might be able to help.

Hi,
Where were James and Mary's children born. I did find a James Boyle that married a Mary Gallagher in Donegal in 1895 but as I can see the record (Pay per View) I can't be sure if parents names were recorded. The same record does not show up if I include James's father as Patrick. www.rootsireland.ie
I can recommend a few websites for you to have a look at and to maybe contact.
Donegal Genealogy Resources - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/
Gallagher Clan - http://www.gallagherclan.org/
Donegal Library Service - http://www.donegallibrary.ie/
I wish you good luck with your research.
Kind regards,
Eimer Shea
