Thankyou Jack, Will now concentrate on the Whooley name. I have gone back to my g/grandfather Thomas Hooleyb.1835, marriage in Swansea Wales in 1856and have researched all his family coming down to my own father and his siblings. I am hoping to find all of them eventually and their children but firstly need to find where g/grandfather was born in Ireland and his ancestors. So next stop...Whooleys.
