Hi Megan

Sorry for the delay, I was getting the marriage certificate for Michael Mcgrory and Sarah Mckeena, which I now have...unfortunetly it does not show a connection between our families.

Michael McGrory married Sarah McKenna 22 May 1884 - Michael's father was a Edward Mcgrory.

Although this doesn't show a connection, I won't be surprised if there was a connection - maybe a generation before this, as the family names are very consistent-  Edward, Michael, Patrick, Mary, James, - all are  family namesin common, but then again I suppose these were common names at the time. Also the fact that both families have a history of joining the Army, well the search continues, do let me know if you find out any further information


ps, i'm sure you've seen this but just in case you haven't , I'm sure that this would be your Bridget Collins...

Hi Megan

I have just started researching my family tree... so a bit slow in putting all the pieces together still  ::).

I was just wondering whether you ever found out anymore about the children of Francis and Catherine McGrory...

Specifically whether you manged to find out which of the above  Michael's (if either of them) was the son.
Michael McGrory who married Sarah McKenna  would be my gg grandfather,  pretty sure that he was born 1855 and died 1929. He also had a son, Michael(born1893) , one of them did enlist in the British Army before 1917, I think it was the son but not sure.

If you do have any info , I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers

David
