Hi - my father's parents moved to Liverpool from Wexford in the early 1900s and I am keen to find out something about them. They also brought over with them their own surviving parents and my fathers older brothers and sisters - my father, James O'Neill, was born in Liverpool in 1915. Although my name is O'Neill there is a story in the family that we were named Neill but were obliged to add the O' to show that we were Catholic Irish. The following information might not be directly relevant but is about the sum total of my knowledge of the pre-Liverpool family, all 4 people originated from Wexford and I would appreciate any further information, corrections or even confirmation of my details Great-grandfather - paternal John O'NEILL (seaman, full beard, ) died Wexford (lived in John Street and Modlin Town) pre-1905. Brother Matthew, sister Christine. O'Neill cousins operated 2 coasters, Elsey Annie and James Francis Victor (JFV). Great-grandfather - maternal James SMYTH (seaman, Van Dyk beard,) born 1849, arrived Liverpool 1905 from Wexford, lived with daughter in Latham Street, died in Aspinall Street 1916, buried in Ford Cemetery Liverpool Grandfather paternal Thomas O'NEILL (seaman) 1870s? - 1927 (died in hospital while away at sea (bowel blockage?) buried in John Seely Hospital Memorial Ground, Galveston, TEXAS USA) Grandmother - paternal Bridget (Biddy) O'NEILL nee Smyth 1873 - 1943 (Ford Cemetery). Had 2 sisters, Catherine Macdonald (20 Aspinall Street) and Anastasia Blake (6 Aspinall Street). best regards Dr Terry O'Neill
