Searching for Quigleys

the_doctor

Good day to all,

I have been following the threads on the boards for awhile. I find them very interesting. It has been great to learn more about the actual doings and complaints of the residents in specific areas.

I have been trying to research the genealogy of my family for years.

I have made little luck in finding the roots of many ancestors such as the o'haras, and conleys.

However, I have found more information on my Quigleys!

I would love to touch base with any Quigleys that are relatives to find out what they are doing, etc.

I have found the following

William Quigley + Mary D'Arcy married at some point in the 19th century.

They had the following children:

Mary Quigley(1844-1904), Thomas Quigley, Mary Marcella Quigley, Cornelius Quigley, Peter Quigley(b11/12/1842), & Elenora Quigley

Mary Quigley came to south Boston, MA and had many children and grandchidlren.

Peter Quigley's baptismal sponsors were Bernard Quigley and a Judith Quigley.

Peter Quigley had many children apparently. They were born in or around Kileendeema and baptised there for the most part.
Catherine, William, Bridget, Bernard, Mary, Penelope, Peter, Margaret, Isabella.

I have found that William came to America in the 20th century and Mary Quigley(his aunt) was a sponsor. Additionally Catherine seemed to come, but there is a transcription at the graveyard(see below).

Mr. Quibell from Australia sent the following information regarding burials in the cemetery in Killeendeema. This confirmed some of the information.

Peter Quigley Dec 1954
Catherine Quigley Sep 1953
children
Brian Apr 1949
Isabella Mar 1955
Margaret 8 Apr 1974
Peter 3 Oct 1972
Mary 26 Jan 1982
by daughter Katie
Just would like to find out more and share information with any cousins.

best wishes

I saw Quigleys in Tuam when reviewing the baptism records for the Galway area. I saw ones from other places as well. I do not know if they are even further distant relations.

I have already put together as much as I can from the other database and several other databases. Would like to gather more anything regarding current Quigley's info for prior Quigleys such as my great great grandmother.

I just know that someone must have a book or a bible with more detail in it. Additional Quigley cousins came over in the 20th century and the detail is somewhat confusing as it seems one WENT BACK. Would like to gather detail on this too.


thanks

Still trying to find some Quigley cousins!!

If anyone wants to swap information and such it would be great. I would like to find out about living cousins and such!

you would be better off dropping a line (letter to the editor) of the Tuam Herald. the older generation who do not surf the net can be a mine of information.

Random ! I am a Quigley in Wicklow. I lived in the northwest two years ago and it is littered with Quigleys!

There are some Quigleys around here. There seems to be quite a large number. Quigleys have married Quigleys with seemly no relation.

I have tracked some of the cousins via a combination of online baptismal transcriptions and cemetery transcriptions.

Some of them are definitely deceased.

There seemed to be only one set of Quigleys in Loughrea. I can't piece them all together, but one subset of Quigleys seems to have served as godparents to the other subset.

Some of the Quigleys came to Boston. My great grandmother was a sponsor. Some of the birth dates on the american paperwork do not correspond to the transcriptions from Ireland.

My great grandmother was Mary Quigley. She was born in 1844. Her parents were William Quigley and Mary D'Arcy. She had a whole host of siblings, which I have partly identified. I have identified some of the nephews and nieces.

I would really like to track the rest and see if we can get past William Quigley and Mary D'Arcy to a previous point in history.

Plus it is always nice to meet cousins.

I'm sure you've tried O.P., but how about a library out the county? They may be of some help or even point you in the right direction. Can't say I personally now any-one of that name in Galway, but other Posters here appear to know, so hopefully you will find them soon. Good luck in your search .....
