    1. [DONOVAN-L] Jeremiah O'Donovan
    2. Update: Jeremiah O'Donovan was born around 1883 or so. Possibly his brother was the groundskeeper at Blarney castle. He could have lived in Blarney, Blackrock or Cork. My father is referred to as Jeremiah III. My grandfather's father was probably Jeremiah, his mother, we believe was Nora. He was married to his first wife, Mary Anne Egan in the townland of Lotabeag around 1899 or so. My aunt, Rita O'Donovan was born around 1910 and died in 1926. My grandfather remarried after Mary Anne died. He married Mary Ethel Mc Cormick in August of 1926 at St.Paul's Church in Belfast. My aunt, Marie O'Donovan Powers was 88 when she died in 1987 so she would have been born around 1899/1900. Harry could have been known as Henry and Frank could have been Francis. My grandfather was 43 when he remarried in 1926. My grandmother was 26. Jeremiah worked in the hotel business. He may have lived up in Derry for a time. Mary Anne was quite an excellent artist. Frank went to live i! n Redding, England. He married Peggy and had a daughter name Marie. He was in the British Army, he worked for the British Atomic Research. Harry was an electrical engineer, was in the Army and worked for the Leeds Post Office. Marie married Alan Powers and moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. If any of this sounds familiar or if anyone has any information about possible brothers and sisters of my grandfather's, please contact me! Thank you.
