I was reading through some of the posts, and lots of the names look very familiar, and we also have the same names cropping up all the time. My great-grandfather William from a townland called Bahy in Roscommon married an Annie Skeffington. My gggrandfather was a John, who married a Mary Gildea. It is this generation that my father and I are struggling with... They had 5 sons - Joseph, Patrick, John, Thomas and William and 3 daughters Annie Theresa, Cecilia and Elizabeth. Annie Theresa and Cecilia emigrated to Australia and we believe married a Mr Bryson and Mr Robinson respectively... Annie Theresa's son Bill Bryson visited Roscommon after serving in the Australian Army in WWI, he returned to Australia after the war ended. Also Joseph emigrated to the States where he had a family including a son John and daughter Cecilia, before returning to Ireland as an elderly man, after his wife had passed... Any hints or tips on where to check for further records would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sean Bushell Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
