This site is now set up as Gallagher/McBride. I am Frank Gallagher born 1953 in Glasgow. My father was also a Frank and he was born in Tyrone in a place called Drumahon in 1920. My mother was Mary Rose McBride and she was born in Moydamlaght near Draperstown county Derry.

My grandfather on my father's side was Charles and he was a National Schoolmaster in Scraghey  which is close to Castlederg, and his father Francis was the first teacher at the  school.

My mother's family were farmers at Moydamlaght since the mid 19th century when my great great  grandfather Patrick McBride reportedly came back to Ireland from Scotland, and subsequently passed his  acquired land on to my great grandfather 'Big Andy McBride'. The farm is still there and currently in the hands of a "bit" removed  relative, John Convery.
I am, like old Patrick McBride in the mid 1800's, living back in Glasgow now mant years in England.  My sons Martin  Michael  and Stephen are all married and live outside greater london UK.   My email if it's not too clear on the pages on this site, is frankg31@yahoo.com    If you have any questions or info don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Best wishes to all.
Frank Gallagher
