Liam Gallagher is a British singer and songwriter. He was lead singer and frontman of rock band Oasis. He is the younger brother of musician Noel Gallagher, who was also a member of the band. Liam was also a member of rock band Beady Eye, and has released music solo.
His mother, Margaret “Peggy” (Sweeney), is from Charlestown, Co. Mayo, and his father, Tommy Gallagher, is from Duleek, Co. Meath, both in Ireland.
Liam has a daughter with singer and songwriter Lisa Moorish; a son with his former wife, actress, singer, and model Patsy Kensit; a son with his former wife, Canadian singer, songwriter, and actress Nicole Appleton, and a daughter with journalist Liza Ghorbani.
Liam’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his third great-grandfather, John Gallagher.
Liam’s paternal grandfather was William Gallagher (the son of Thomas Gallagher and Mary Anne Lee). William was born in Abbeyland, Duleek, County Meath. Thomas was the son of John Gallagher and Catherine Fegan. Mary Anne was the daughter of William Lee and Mary Anne Murray.
Liam’s maternal grandfather was surnamed Sweeney.
Liam’s maternal grandmother was named Margaret “Peggy” O’Brien.

Thomas was the son of John Gallagher and Catherine Fegan. Mary Anne was the daughter of William Lee and Mary Anne Murray.
Liam’s maternal grandparents were surnamed Sweeney and Margaret “Peggy”.
Remarks:
1. The surname “Murray” is of Scottish origin. However, the Lee family was Roman Catholic.
2. I am disputing Liam’s paternal grandmother due to age disparity unless someone will re-analyze to correct it.

I thought his grandmother’s birth date was an error on geni’s part.
Proof that Neanderthal man lives on.
