Searching for any information on a drowning in Achill Sound. Neale Gallagher. Whilst fishing his boat overturned, his two sons 13 and 10 approximately.attempted a rescue by throwing him a rope. They were unable to reach him as he was swept out to sea. The year was probably 1847 but that is an educated guess. It was a famine relief area and it fits the age of the boys, but it could be 2/3 yrs out either way. May have had connections with Mweelin. His widow was Bridget Gallagher born 1821. although Neale's age is not known he is likely to have been about 26.........his sons were James and John......James went to Trinity College and became a school master, John went to Crimea and on his return Married Subina in Achill somewhere.Subina may have come from Achillbeg, her father was Anthony......If anyone can shed some light on these events or knows of this family, I would be eternally grateful....Thanks......!!! P.S.Subina was also a Gallagher before she was married.
