Surnames: Gilbride Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5000 Message Board Post: My grandmother was Mary Kelly, born in 1870. She married my grandfather, John Gilbride in the early 1900's. He had at least two brothers, James and Thomas. I know very little about them. My grandfather is buried in a church cemetery outside of Manorhamilton. Visited the grave about twenty five years ago. He died in 1950-51? I wish I could remember the name of the church. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. My grandmother came to New York from Leitrim with my father, Thaddeus in 1951. My grandmother spent time as a nanny in Philadelphia around the turn of the century and returned to Leitrim after 1900. (dates unsure) My father had three sisters: Mary, Kitty and Florence. I also find it hard to obtain birthdates and other information about John and Mary. Unfortunately, my father and his sisters have all passed away. Any comments would be welcomed. Steve
