I am trying to trace back is family line but not getting far. I believe he was born in Manchester, and then his family moved to Northern Ireland. He and one of his brothers then went to Dublin where he met and married my Grandmother Bridget Kane. They went on to have 8 children. I think Grandad had a brother Jack who may have had somthing to do with newspapers, and perhaps a brother John. Any thing would help!
