I have just learned that my husband's GG Grandfather was from Roscommon. Either just before he left Ireland or arrived in England,in 1847/1848, Patrick lost his wife and was left with a son, Bartholomew. In 1850 he married Bridget McDonagh in Berwick on Tweed before finally settling in the Newcastle upon Tyne area.<p>Does anyone have any connection with the Maley, Malley families of Roscommon so we can trace back who Bartholomew's mother was and also take Patricks roots back further.<p>Patrick used the name Maley and we have found Bartholomew under Melie and then the family name settled as O'Malia so there are variations of how the name may come up in Ireland.<p>Lori O'Malia<br>Bedford, England.
