Title: William McAvoy c1901
Post by: Treacly on Saturday 08 May 10 21:20 BST (UK)

I am trying to find details of my grandfather's birth - William Joseph McAvoy.  Allegedly born in Bangor.  Father was Joseph McAvoy & had a brother Michael.  But cant seem to track him down.  His Father was apparently a puppeteer!

Any ideas?  Thanks Treacly
