I'm interested in the following Oranmore families;
Athy, Banks, Berry, Brannelly, Burke, Burns, Cormican, Coye, Dolan, Donahue, Fahey, Finn, Grealy, Greally, Grealish, Higgins, Hynes, Keane,Kelly, McDonogh, McGrath, Moran, Muldoon, Nolan, Plower, Small, Sweeney, Tarpey, Trayers, Vaughan.

What do you need to know about the Plower name?

I have a Michael Kelley/Kelly b abt 1814 in Ireland married to a Mary Hynes b abt 1814 in Ireland. Ring any bells?

I am interested in the Plower name. It is believed that my GGGreatgrandfather Walter Martin married a Mary Plower. They had a son Thomas Martin born in 1823, Co Galway, Ireland. Thomas emigrated to the USA in 1849 or 1850. It is believed his parents Walter & Mary died in Ireland before Thomas's departure from Ireland. On Thomas Martin's tombstone that is located in Wetzel Co. West Virginia, USA say's he was a native of the Parish of Kerabane, Co Galway, Ireland. I relize the Parish spelling is wrong but that is the way it was spelled.
Anyway, I was wondering if my Mary Plower is of your family.

Thanks a bunch.

I am tracing the John Grealish and Bridget Keane from Galway Ireland. Their daughters Bridget and Mary came to America in about 1880. Both married in Minnesota and then went to Tacoma, Washington. Other children born to John &Bridget Grealish are:Anne, Catherine, John, Patrick, Judith, Penelope, and another Anne. If this family is connected to your research please contact me @ jfk000@excite.com Thanks, Karen
