Hi to all My husband was born out of wedlock in the 60's at the time his mother was shipped of to Cork and the father of the child didn't want to know anything. His mother had a hard time which as we all know was very common especially in Ireland. What is so sad is that my husband managed to trace his father abt 10yrs ago, but sadly his father didn't want to know him unless he met in secret away from the family home. He never married so had no family to consider which might have been a different issue. I just wonder how many other families went through similar things in Kerry. Kind regards Caroline
