My grandfather was Jeremiah O'Donovan. He was born approximately 1882. His first wife was Mary Anne Eagan. His second wife, my grandmother was Mary Ethel Mc Cormack. My father is Jerry Donovan. He was born in Belfast in 1939. My granddad was born in Cork and moved up to Belfast in the early 1920's? We don't know anything about him. He had the following children: Harry, Frank, Marie (Powers) O'Donovan, Gabrielle (Jenkins), Christina (Haughey), Alice (Ward), Paul, Josephine (McMullins) and Jeremiah Donovan. He dropped the O' after he left Cork. He also had the following deceased children: Jeffrey, Patrick, Mary, Bridget and Nora. There may have been more. If this is familiar, please respond. There is a family story that Jeremiah's father or grandfather worked as a groundskeeper at Blarney castle. This would have been around the times of the uprisings.
