On the marriage certificate it states his father was Patrick. On his death certificate it states he was born in County Clare, Waughty Park is how it is written, possibly how it sounded. We are currently on holiday in Ireland staying near taungraney and will visit the research centre tomorrow. It has been suggested by the locals, when I mention the birth place, that it might be Waterpark, the old farm of the O'Gradys of long ago. It is just out of Scarriff on the theakle road. We went to look today, there seems to be a tower there, beside the river, where the playground is today. Is that what people refer to as Waterpark? If it is then it is more than we would have expected from our visit. We only expected to absorb the feel of the area that he came from. We only have one more day in Clare.
