1. [GALLAHER] GALLAHAR of Tasmania. [1]
Greetings from sunny and hot N.S.W. Australia! I have been reading the Gallaher Digests with great interest for some weeks. There are so many name derivations! Can anyone suggest how I can trace back my THOMAS GALLAHAR who married ANN PUDSEY FOSTER at St. Pancras, London in 1840. They migrated to Tasmania in 1841 and raised their family in Hobart. Family legend states that he was either from Bristol, or a protestant from Northern Ireland. I now understand that his parents most probably spelt their na
2. [GALLAHER] A GALLEHER biography [0.990855]
Howdy, a;; ... I got a CD in the mail as a premium from the Ancestry.com folks, and found the following biography on it. Although it is not one of my ancestors, perhaps someone here can make use of it.. ========================================= GALLEHER, John Nicholas The 20th Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans, Vol. 4, p.226 GALLEHER, John Nicholas, third bishop of Louisiana and 124th in succession in the American episcopate, was born in Washington, Ky., Feb. 17, 1839.

3. [GALLAHER] Calling all Goll-yers ... [0.990855]
A few days ago I happened upon a surname discussion forum spelled GOLLAHON. Other variant spellings may be GOLLAHORN and GOLLYHORN. What interested me in this spelling is that I had been once again considering the pronunciation of our surname in some circles as GAWL-yer. I also know of at least one family where a grandmother remembers it being pronounced GOLLY-you back into Kentucky, and even recalled it being spelled that way in some papers she remembered seeing when she was younger. This greatly inter
4. Re: [GALLAHER] Calling all > Golly-haw [0.990855]
Thank you ever so much for writing, Dennis! I remember now corresponding with you before, and it seems you have even mentioned that the name was pronounced Golly-haw. But to read the story in it's particulars is most delightful! I really enjoy family surname stories, and feel that they add soul to the history of a name. I especially like the story about eating too much so as to end up like "ol' man Golly-haw (Gallaugher)." :D I must re-post this story to the Clann O'Golly forum where it will be easily
5. RE: [GALLAHER] Calling all Goll-yers ... [0.990855]
Dear Michael, I descend from a line in South Carolina who usually used the surname spelling of GALLAUGHER but records reflect a variety of spellings and one branch took the spelling of GALLAHER. I have only heard the name pronounced one way and that is close to: GALLA HAUGH or GOLLY HAW. The GA is voiced deep in the throat and the HAUGH is very breathy. The surname died out in the Upstate SC area (Abbeville Co.) in 1914 when my great grandmother's half brother (William GALLAUGHER) died unmarried. My gr
