Hello,
My name is Dilys and I am a new member, having found your link on the web.
As an Australian searching Irish data is very difficult: local knowledge is a great asset. I am searching for these people because they are direct relatives of my husband.
I am searching for the siblings and ancestors of John Wallace and Margaret Tierney. John was born about 1830 in Ireland, although I think he may have been baptised 20 April 1839. He married Margaret Tierney in 1855 in Galway and his death was registered in Middletown, Galway in 1876.
Margaret Tierney travelled to Australia with most of her family in 1892
I cannot find information about Margaret Wallace junior, b 1871, travelling to Australia, and do not know what became of her.
Can anyone help me with John and Margaret, please?

Hi. My name is Cathaoir ? Tighearnaigh of The O'Tierney Clans Society. I live in Athenry, Co. Galway. You mention that the Wallace and Tierney families being of Middletown, Co. Galway. I cannot or have no knowledge of a Middletown in Co. Galway. However there is a Milltown which is near Tuam, Co. Galway. There is a Middletown in Co. Mayo in the Barony of Carra near Castlebar. Both areas have a number of Tierney families. Carra was once the seat of the ? Tighearnaigh, Lord of Partry and King of Cearra.
I would be delighted if you would contact me directly at otighearnaigh@eircom.net and I would see if I could assist you further with your Tierney side.
Best regards and I look forward to hearing from you,
Cathaoir.
