Births/Baptisms of Children: Some are baptised as Catholics, others as Church of Ireland which suggests to me that Thomas may have been Church of England/Ireland. Margaret was a Catholic. They had been married in a Church of Ireland Church. Mary Gaskin Bpt 14/09/1872 Roundstone RC Church, Galway, Ireland. Joseph Gaskin/Gaschen b 1874 Roundstone, Galway, Ireland. Rosalina Catherine Margaret Gaskin bpt 25/11/1876 Galway, Ireland. William Gaskin bpt 1880 in St. Nicholas Church of Ireland Parish Church, Galway, Ireland. 2 other children - details unknown - may have died in infancy. 4. Will of Thos. Connolly of Fairhill, Galway dated 25/06/1896.He names his daughter Margaret Gaskin and her son William, as beneficiaries. 5. I understand he died by 1911 as his wife is listed as a widow in Galway, Ireland on the 1911 Census at the house of relatives named Mullally/Mullaly.
