I am seeking information as to the best way to travel to Lackagh Museum and the surrounding area, in particular Derrymacloughna Castle ruins. I am also interested in the Lackagh parish records. I am thinking I need to be based in Galway for this excursion?
Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
The indexes show that the Church of Ireland records for Lackagh are at the National Archives of Ireland in Dublin.
The Roman Catholic records for Baptisms and Marriages for 1842 to 1880 are supposed to be on Family Search. It looks as if 1842 is the earliest that survives. Beyond 1880 and all burials are presumably still held by the PP.
It seems that a company called Burkes Bus runs a bus from Galway to Lackagh and on to Tuam (thu via or very close to the ruins) every hour on a weekday, and a restricted Sunday service- https://burkesbus.ie/
It's Transport for Ireland who tells me that the bus stops in Lackagh and all the other stops, not Burkes.
But presumably you will actually have a car. Or will really use a taxi or private car service. But as you asked the question....
Thank you so much for the information. We are trying not to hire a rental vehicle, as my husband is unsure about his ability to operate a manual shift with his left hand (we're from the States). I am willing to give it a go, however, I understand some of the rental companies have age restrictions on drivers.
I will investigate Burkes Bus. Again, thank you for your help.
