Bill
I believe that your wife Sheila was my cousin if her brother was named Alan and his mother was AKA Nancy, hence the the family names big Nancy wife of Tommy and little Nancy wife of Georgie.(refered to their height)
Anyway if this is so my granfather died about 1946ish I dont know for sure the funeral was at St Bridgets I was only
5 but I attended against the wishes of the family sneaking in at the back. He was buried in Smithdown rd cemetery.
My grandmother survived a few more years and his buried with him
My father James second oldest always told me that my granfather spoke of Dunnoon and he did not speak much of his family
but his sister Jessie visited for a short while in the thirties. So it is possible he went south via there.
I hope this helps.
I would be interested to hear more on how you are going.
