I am trying to find any information on these ancestors. They lived in Glennafosha, Tuam, County Galway. I know of two children they had, one being Thomas who emigrated to New Zealand and Peter who stayed in Glennafosha. I cannot find any information on when they married or how many children they had. I found the death of Sabina which was 1st September 1893 but can find no record of the death of Thomas. If anyone has any information I would really appreciate it. I have the records of the property they lived at on the Griffiths Valuations but nothing else.

Trish,
You probably already have this info but I needed some dates. Per Irishgenealogy (free), Sabina died in 1893, age 80, approximate birth 1828. Peter died in 1946, age 84, approximate birth 1862. Per RootsIreland (subscription), Peter married Margaret Steed in 1894. They are on the 1901 and 1911 censuses living in Glennafosha, Tuam, County Galway.

Hi Mary
Thank you for replying to my post. Yes you are correct I do have that information. I am actually trying to find information on Thomas and Sabina re marriage and other children they possibly had. The only information we have is the parents names on the marriage certificate of their son Thomas who came to NZ and married here. He actually married a Mary Hickey who was from Loughrea also in Country Galway. I have been searching for years to find anything but without much luck. Apparently there was possibly another son called Patrick but with all the families naming their children with the same names it can become quite confusing. I have tried looking through the Parish records for Tuam on NLI but couldn't see anything. I dont know if that is the correct Parish or if it could be another one with them living in Glennafosha.
Thanks again
Trish
