Posted on: County Longford, Ireland Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Ireland/Longford/688 Surname: DEVLINS ------------------------- Jimmy, many thanks for contacting me I would be grateful for the memorial inscriptions. I visited Derrymore some time ago and spoke to Nicky Halligan who had lived their all his life and he mentioned that some of the Devlin's were Coopers. It is a major slow and painstaking task trying to sort out what branch of the family members belong to what tree I know they are all related. All really interesting stuff I wish I had started 20 years ago when there were more of my 'old folk's' around, however I will make that all important breakthrough one day. You know somewhere along the line the Devlin's were related to the American Prize Fighter John L Sullivan on his mother's (Catherien Kell(e)y). Also the informant on JOHN L's death certificate was Anne Lennon - any relation to you? Did I already ask you that question? Again Jimmy, thanks for contacting me and look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Mary Wall PS I have been unable to contact you from the email address given hope you receive this message.
