I have found him with my Great grandmother from about 1912 in Manchester. He died in 1925. They had at least 8 children. My grandmother and great aunt spent holidays in Co.Mayo and the name of the place they remembered was either Glencara or Blencara. The surname has been corrupted over the generations with some descendants called Cafferty and some Cafferky. However my mother is adamant that her grandfather was known as Michael Cafferty O'Boyle. I'm not sure if that helps at all. I would appreciate any help Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
