My Great Grandparents were John Forde and Ellen Regan. Ellen died about 1927 of TB aged in her thirties leving her children to be brought up by her sister, Molly. Her family were connected to the undertaking business and the O Connells. One of John and Ellen Fordes daughters ran a pub in Barrack Street, Cork.They were catholics. Hoping someone has a connection, Sharon, Hampshire, England

Hi Sharon, Forde's Pub is still there at the lower end of Barrack Street and I believe is still owned by the Forde family. A short distance away on French's Quay there is a firm of undertakers named Forde. I don't know if there is a connection. The biggest firm of undertakers in Cork are O'Connors.
