• Hi Sam

  There are 2 birth/baptism records of Mary Cullinane from Claregalway on rootsireland but they are 1861 & 62:

  Name:Mary CullinanDate of Birth:
  Date of Baptism:03-Sep-1862Address:GortParish/District:CLAREGALWAYGender:FemaleCountyCo. Galway

  Here's the marriage record which I assume you have which of course doesn't have her father's name! However it has he married in 1852 rather than born then??

  Date of Marriage:27-Mar-1852
  Parish / District:CLAREGALWAY
  County:Co. Galway
  Husband
  WifeName:MichaelCarrole

  Notes:

  STP: £1/2/-
  "FALLAN" AND ALSO "FALLON" ARE WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE CARD.

  Griffiths Valuation (free) was done in 1855 in Galway and there are 4 Cullinanes in Claregalway but only this one from Lydacan:

  Interestingly the 1861 baptism of Mary Cullinane 1861 has mother Catherine

  Frustratingly the Irish Censuses of 1841 & 51 do not include Galway; the 1821 does but there are no Cullinanes in Galway

  This is the most likely listing from the 1901 Census

  I couldn't see them in the 1911 however

  This record is from the Tithe Applotments 1823-37

  I'm wondering if Cloughagatla has anything to do with Claregalway; I'll ask a Galway expert

  Hello

   

  Thank you for your responces, 

  There seems to be a few Carrolls in the Clonbrook Estate.  Michael Carroll who married a Mary and A john Carroll whose brother Michael and Patrick live in the same household, and John married  a Catherine., all so confusing.  Their childrens names were also similar to those of Michael and Mary.    Michael and Mary married on the 27th march 1852, in Lydecan Church. 

  The baptisms you have thoughtfullly given do not add, as they are in 1861 and 1862, unfortunately. 

  The below are my Carrolls.  Maybe Mary did not know the name of her father? 

  Do you know the name of the catholic chruch in the Lydican?

• Aplogies, she would have been born around 1841.............

• Okay, thinking about it again, if she married Michael in 1852, she would not have been born in 1840.........

• Thanks Liam.

  Sam the nli RC registers are free online & have baptisms, marriages & mortuary records for Claregalway starting 1849.

  I notice that the date on the marriage record is exactly the same as the birth date for Mary that you had so could there have been an error somewhere? If so this would make her birth year abt 1830-34.

  Rootsireland has quite a few Mary Cullinanes born in those years but none from Claregalway. There are quite a few from Tuam. Could these be relevant Liam?

• Thank you Colcaff. I have spoken with a family member, and although we know Mary Cullinane was married in Lydicam, it may not be her birth place, therefore the Tuam Cullinane family may be relative. I agree , her birth dates would be around 1834, her mother 's name was beleived to be Catherine, who is thought to have died in the 1850''s. Is there indexing of the Irish marriages/births that are free, as I find the registers very hard to read?

  Thank you again for all of your support.

  Regards Sam

• No free ones as far as I know Sam; you might consider a short subscription to www.rootsireland.ie/

  findmypast.ie/ might also be worth a try; do you have a local Family History or Genealogy Centre which may offer free access to these after joining?

• Sam,

  The Michael Carroll, who married Mary Cullinane was, according to some Carrolls I met in Mt. Bellew many decades ago, a son of Edward Carroll.  If he was the son of Edward Carroll and Bridget Mulrooney, then he would have been my grt grandfather's brother, and had another brother Thomas and a sister Margaret.

  I have no more information on Mary Cullinane other than marriage, 1901 census, and death.

  But if you wish to try to see if there is a connexion between your Michael Carroll and my grt. grandfather, please contact me.
