Strange but true. 1)My Great Grandfather was married twice, his first wife died and both his wive's names were Catherine Dolan, and they were not related. 2) One of my great aunts, Maguire, married a McGuire and one of my aunts, Maguire, also married a McGuire. It make for some interesting banter on which family knows how to spell. I am a Maguire and, of course, we know that this is the correct spelling. I found out something recently for all you Maguire. I was always told that the name meant the dark colored man. However in a video of the family name, it states that the name, when pronounced by a non gaelic speaker, means dark colored, but when spoken by a gaelic speaker it means the nobleman. Let's see, which should I chose to believe? Based on the way we look, the dark colored man sounds right, as a rule we are a dark haired group, but we act like noblemen and women. [:-)
