It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:

Galwey-303 and Gallwey-202 appear to represent the same person because: The problem arises from the variant spelling used by some other branches of the family, particularly those from Lota. Mary Gallwey is actually descended from Michael Gallwey of Enniskean (d. Oct 1762) via his son James and grandson Patrick who was her father. To the best of my knowledge all the Gallweys of Enniskean used this particular spelling and it was established as the standard by Sir Henry Blackall in his omnibus history of the family.

I think that this is the same person as Gallwey-202 and so they should be merged
