Please contact me if any of your Geraghtys came from Burrishoole Parish in Co. Mayo. I have collected quite a bit of info on several Geraghtys from this area. My immediate family lived in the townland of Lecarrow. However, I have information on many other Geraghtys from other townlands in this parish, so I may have something that applies to your family.

There are at least 2 John Geraghtys from this era in Burrishoole, so if you can, tell me a little more about the one you're looking for. Do you believe the John Geraghty you're looking for was from Burrishoole Parish in Co. Mayo? If so, do you know his wife's name, or any of his children? Did your John die in Co Mayo, or did he immigrate?

I have a Thomas Geraughty b. about 1807, believed to be from Co. Mayo, possibly Erris of Killmore. He married Subina Loftus. The only child I have listed as born in Ireland is the oldest Eugene who was born about 1842.

Does this fit any of your Geraughty families?

I have a Michael Geraghty born c1843 who was born in County Mayo but moved to Limerick as a young man. His father was called Patrick Geraghty (occupation - Agent and I assume stayed in Mayo) and he may have had siblings called Mary and Jane.

If this sounds familiar l would love to hear from you.

Hi Mary Ann--
I'm working on a Geraghty family from Cuilmore in Burrishoole. The family descends from Tom Geraghty and Bridget O'Malley. Their son Tom Pat had twelve children and one of them was my husband's great grandfather Patrick (Pappy).
I've got sketchy information on these folks and would be grateful if you could fill in my gaps.

Thanks!
Ellen Jennings

Hi, Ellen,

Is this the Patrick "Pappy" Geraghty of Cuilmore who married Mary "May" Geraghty, daughter of James Geraghty and Alice Moran, of Lecarrow (Carrackaneady)? This Patrick "Pappy" Geraghty was born in 1897, died Feb 23, 1988. His parents were Patrick Geraghty and Sarah Gallagher. If this is the right "Pappy", I can definitely put you in touch with the family.

Yes! That's the family! My husband's grandmother was Delia Geraghty (changed to Garrity in the US)and Pappy was her brother and Patrick and Sally were her parents. She married Martin Jennings, of Ranaghy, in Chicago in 1915.

Are you interested in the American Geraghty/Garrity family? I've been working with Pat Delaney (Delia's grandson) and would be happy to share with you all the information I have.

Whatever you could tell me would be awesome!

Thanks so much, Mary Ann!

Best,
Ellen
