Gahagan (Goaghan, Geoghegan, Goghan, Gaughan etc) Families in Ballina Catholic Parish, County Mayo, Ireland with Spouses Surname O-R
Gaughan was the only Gahagan surname variant that I observed occupying property in the Griffith's Valuation for Kilmoremoy in 1856. Anthony, Michael, Richard, Eleanor and William Gaughan all held parcels in the Town of Ballina, while James Gaughan held land in Farrannoo while Jane Gaughan held a house, garden and office in the Townland of Laghtadawannagh. Date of Birth, if provided will be noted in the Misc. Info section.
The early records of Item 15 of this film are extremely disappointing. I have looked at over 600 records where the writing is nearly invisible. If you have family in this parish, be sure to get this film yourself to see if you can extricate any other information on them that I might have missed!
Re: surname O'Mally: There was a baptismal record for a Margarett, daughter of Terance O'Mally and Helen Gall-g--? that could be a Gaughan but is most likely Gallagher from March 8, 1836.
