G'Day Irish!
Sorry so late in replying.
Thank you for that name,just what was needed.A lot of my rellie,s lived around there way back in the 1910/11 time,s.
You would recall my inquiry on O'Brien,s Street?That Church was probably the family church,and with a bit of luck I can now find out if my Mother was baptised there.
Thank you again.
Goggy, ;) ;D

heywood.
You were very helpful,and put a lot of work into your initial and secondary replie,s,for which I am truly grateful.
The area in question has a choice of Churche,s,never having had any luck at picking winner,s I decided that to ask my question would be better than picking the correct Church.
Thank you again.
Goggy. ;) ;D

goggy- thank you. When I re-read my message it looks a bit sharp - sorry didn't mean to - just thought it might be useful to phone if all else fails!
I do hope you find mum's details.
good luck

G'Day Irish!
That,s lovely of you to offer and I would ask if in the neighbourhood there are still descendant,s of the people that are related to me.A Byrne lady had a shop on Patrick street,as did a Prender/Pendergast,and the Widger family of O'Brien,s street,still up front in horse event,s.
This all happened long ago,and it,s taken me a long time to learn it,so please excuse my jumping at your offer!!
Sincerely.
Goggy. ;) ;D
