Palmfield and Gallaghers

Katherine Regan O'Grady was from Cashelcolaun, Co Mayo (now Roscommon). Her mother Ellen Gallagher was from 'Palmfield' according to their marriage record. Her father was Michael.

But, there is no townland of Palmfield. There is a 'village' of Palmfield in the nearby townland of Gortanure, however.

Griffiths, 1860s:

So Michael has plots 31, 32, & 33, with a house on plot 32 (Interesting that there's a Thomas Grady in neighboring plot 29).

Gortanure is just down the road from Cashecolaun, and Michael's house would have been off the same local road.

It looks like there are still old farm buildings on the land where the Gallagher house would have been (why does that give me the urge to go visit? )

Michael Gallagher would have been Grandma Katherine Regan O'Grady's grandfather. Oddly enough, it looks like Michael's wife was a Kate Regan! Trying to locate the records for that ...
