    Hi Seamah, this is the city forum. I'll push this over to the county forum where Tuam is located.
    Can you elaborate a bit on why your are looking for the family? Are you a relative and doing genealogy?

    Hi,

    I am a probate Genealogist. I am trying to trace Mr Donnellan's next of kin. He passed away a few years ago and did not leave a will. I have a date of birth of 20/12/1938 possibly born in Tuam.


    Regards
    John

    Contact the local church. I think they keep records of all births in the parish going way back.

    Hi

    My Mother had a Brother Christopher Donnellan. He was born in Miltown Tuam Co Galway however the DOB we have for him is 30th of November 1936 and he died on the 18th of November 1985. He lived in 88 Oxford Road Birmingham 13.

    Could this be the Christopher you are looking for?

    Regards
    Teesin

    Hi Teesin,


    Thanks for getting back to me.

    It looks as though this is a different Christopher Donnellan. My Chistopher lived in Leigh and passed away several years ago.

    However, I did find a Irish birth registration in Tuam for a Christopher Donnellan born in 1938.


    Regards
