Gallaghers of Galw/Roscmn Co/Ballinasloe Twnld

[judybethel]

I am searching for Gallaghers that immigrated from Ballinasloe Twnld in either Galway or Roscommon county. The date is from +/- 1830s to 1860. The given names are John M, Michael, Stephen, Catherine and Margaret Vincent Gallagher. Margaret is my g-grandmother. She was born in 1848 and family sources say she was orphaned, but it is unclear when. She immigrated to Leavenworth County Kansas about 1860 and married Matthew Madden of Galway in 1866 in Leavenworth City. The surname of Stanford was so important to her that she gave it to 2 of her children. In fact, the family has been convinced her surname was Stanford until recent records proved otherwise. The family would greatly appreciate any help you can give us.
