Hello Listers, This is a very helpful , informative site and so I am going to post my interests and see what happens. All of my 8 Great Grandparents were Irish coming from different parts and my Grandfather of my name was born in Dublin in 1865. It is rather hard finding info. on them and I have only had limited success. Anyway - here goes CHARLES BROOKS married to CATHERINE ???, son THOMAS born 1833/34. Thomas married BRIDGET MOONEY at Dublin, (his 2nd wife, him being a widower and having a daughter MARY ANN ) they were married at St Mary's Pro Cathedral in 1864) her parents were PETER MOONEY and CATHERINE (SHAUGHNESSY??) given as Co Galway. JAMES CODE born circa 1830 from Kildare married ELLEN MOONEY, born circa 1839,from Dublin. THOMAS BYRNE born 1841 at Drogheda, Co Meath married JANE BARRY born1842/3 from Wexford. His parents were married at BeauparcParish Church, Navan, Co. Meath WILLIAM JOYCE born 1842 in Mayo, his father was WILLIAM, trade shown as Farmer. Son WILLIAM married WINIFRED MALLETT (MILLETT) born 1845 Mayo, father given as PATRICK. Here's hoping, Go raibh maith agat Wally Brooks
