Mayo, Ireland. I believe his father was also John, but don't have his mother's name or any details of his siblings. John and Bridget might have been siblings, but I'm afraid I have nothing to confirm that one way or the other. If I do obtain any other info I'll contact you and perhaps you could do likewise. Gerrie
