    Family History Researcher
    • Researcher on this lineage, EmailJay,My Irish ancestors are Michael Hawley (Hally in Ireland) and Catheri ne English and their 13 children (11 of whom came to Wis, some with famili es. My line goes Michael, Edward, Edward, William, William & me. Don't h ave much on the surname English except some probable siblings of Catheri ne - but that is another search. The Hawley family is who I was thinki ng of when I put that post on Gen Wis. My Scottish ancestors are Lambi e. My English ancestors are Barker. I also have VanderLinden, Bemis, Sch linder, Keily, Foley, etc. I grew up in that area although I don't li ve there now. I know where the Hally's come from in Ireland and have be en there. And I know the farm where they first settled in 1855 - it is ne ar where the Outagamie Airport lies now. I have not found where in NY th ey lived nor where they entered the US. That is what I am trying to fi nd at this time. Sandy

      Hello,
      I am trying to find some information about my 2nd great grand-aunt CatherineHally who married Christopher Mahon or McMahon. They immigrated toWisconsin. Catherine was baptized on 8 June 1828 in Ireland (sourceWaterford Heritage Center, County Tipperary). Their first child was born inMay 1855 but I don't know when Christopher and Catherine married. I believetheir children are Timothy (1855) either born in Wis or Mich, Thomas (1860),Annie (1862), Katie, Eliza, Julia and John (birth dates unknown). I believethat I have found the family in the1880 Census living in Courtland, Columbia, Wisconsin but not Christopher. I believe the family was in Wisconsin by 1858 as I have found a land record.I have found no information on Christopher. He must have died prior to 1880. They may have married in New York or Michigan. Any information on where they were in earlier census records and whenChristopher died would be greatly appreciated. Catherine parents wereMichael Hally and Catherine English who settled in Outagamie County, Greenville, Wisconsin.



      Thank you.

      Jerry,
      Thank you again for the scholarly additions.
      Where to begin? First, my fourth cousin Sandra Hawley traveled to Newcastle, County Tipperary, Ireland several years ago and obtained information from the baptismal certificates including baptismal sponsors for all of the thirteen children of Michael Hally and Kate English, all of them Hallys including many of the sponsors. As far as I or anyone knows, the name only became Hawley after most of the family, except Patrick Hally who stayed behind, immigrated to America (one son died in transport and another died shortly after arrival). As far as I know, the name Hawley was adopted only after arrival as an anglicized, Americanized version of Hally. I have an Irish ancestral map printed in Michigan which probably follows Hogan's and Carney's suggestions because it lists the name as Holy located in NW Kilkenny around the town of Urlingford which would have been Osraigh territory, although they are listed as Ciannacht, perhaps through a confusion between the earlier Osraigh Cearbhall and the later Eile Cearbhall ancestor of O'Carrolls, unless Eile O'Carroll did in fact extend to that part of Kilkenny at that time which would imply that they were Ciannacht. One son of Michael and Kate in Meridian, Michigan used the name Holly, and that seems to be the preferred pronunciation in America. So based on the location in Tipperary, we are probably talking about O'hAilche insofar as Mulhall of Waterford as Hally would be the exception which proves the rule. Just because the name is Hawley in America by one family does not, in my humble opinion, make all of the Hallys of Aughavanlomaun Mulhalls.

      O'Hart places Tuath Ferault in Tipperary in the vicinity of Templemore I believe, and extending into Kilkenny in the vicinity of Urlingford. By suggesting that they were a branch of the O'Kennedy's, he seems to me to imply that this territory was part of Ormond. Woulfe likewise places them in and around Templemore, and later appearing as merhants in Cashel and in Kilmallock, County Limerick. This would also tend to suggest that they were of Viking origin, as some Vikings could have become "middle men" after the Viking defeat at clontarf in 1013 AD.

      As noted previously, the name Ailche, of old memory in Eire, was used as a synonym or substitute for the Norse name Helgi. As previously noted, there was a gentleman named Helgi at that time who was half Norwegian and half Irish being the son of Eivind Austmann of Norway and Rafertach daughter of Kjarval identified with King Cearbhall of Ossory, as I have discovered in a note to a recent addition of Saxo's History of Denmark. (Sorry, I don't have the name of the original saga manuscript but it may be listed in the note.) This would tend to support the view of an Ossory origin of Hally as a Viking or half Viking family. Parenthetically, Hawley is in some cases etymologically of Norse origin which may have influenced the choice of the Americanized version Hawley of the Hally family in America.

      I referred to the 12th century manuscript "Wars of Ceallachan of Cashel" to provide one explanation of how O'hAilche, if in fact of Danish origin as suggested by Rev. Woulfe, could have been associated with the O'Kennedy sept as stated in O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees where he also says that they were hereditary physicians. I agree that membership in a sept does not necessarily imply paternal descent. However, it does indicate close family bonds, and this is what I take O'Hart to mean when he says that O'hAilche was a branch of the O'Kennedys of Ormond, as I also agree with Woulfe that they were originally Danish Vikings, not to suggest that this was an attempt to falsify a pedigree. Rather, because I believe that they were ordinary Vikings of Waterford or south Tipperary, there is no record of their actual ancestry and probably was none then either. I do agree with you insofar as I do not believe they were transposed from North Tipperary or County Kilkenny to the Newcastle area, also in agreement with Dan Hawley of Newcastle in this respect, who incidentally does believe that all of the Hallys in that area including himself although using a different spelling are O'hAilche.
