Geraldine,

Thanks for your message.  Grace Lafferty (McGettigan) was my Great Grandmother.  She died in 1964 and there are several people alive who remember her quite well.  I'm sure that the Grace McGettigan recorded as being in Tyrone in 1901 is her (see earlier link).  The age matches, she's recorded as being from Donegal and her occupation is a telegraph clerk which corresponds with her later occupation.  This was how she met here husband (through the post office).

It'd be great if you could send me as much information as you could on the McGettigan line.  I've newspaper obituaries for Grace that I could send you as well.

You might advise how I could correspond with you.  I'm just a bit apprehensive about giving personal info on a public notice board.

Regards

Aidan

Grace was born in  Drumroosk, 1883.

I don't know where Grace was in 1901. 

When you say Grace was a boarder with Paul Dunleavy, I presume that was 1901.

Gerger.



Gerger,

It was great to see your info earlier on the McGettigan line.  Grace McGettigan is my direct ancestor and I'd be interested to know where you located all the dates regarding her parents and where they originally came from.


Also, do you have any old photos of this line of the family?  I've only one photo of Grace and a poor one at that.

Regards

Do you know where Grace Mcgettigan  (m Daniel Lafferty) was in 1901. Her location may be another clue

All,

I thinks Grace McGettigan was actually in Tyrone in 1901 (see link attached).

She's a direct ancestor of mine but I've no idea where the Toner link comes in.

Regards
