Hi Alex,
Francis and Alice married in Middlesbrough 14th Jan 1921.
Hope that's helpful.
Are you a relative of some sort?
Not been on here for ages, but happy to share info.
Regards,
Helen

Hello Ronan,

Happy New Year to you!
It's beena  while, but did you ever hear from Fergal about the Christmas cards? I have scanned copies of them that I can email to you if you like.
Also, I now live in Ireland (Castlebar) and wondered whether you might like to meet up at some point?
I've had a few months' break from Giblin stuff, but there are still so many mysteries that I'd like to get to the bottom of ...
Anyway, get in touch if you'd like to meet up, or even just have a chat on the phone.
All the best,

Helen

Hi Fergal,
Thank you so much for getting in touch - that does sound very much like my great great uncle Patrick. Can I ask, do you still have these Christmas cards? Last week I met up with Patrick's nephew, who lives in America now, but was visiting the UK. He'll be very interested to hear about this.
By the way, is your email gmail dot com at the end?
Mine is (*)

Thanks again,
Helen

As far as I know Alice and Francis never divorced.
I suppose we'll never really know what happened.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi again,
They gave Patrick Gaffney's burial date, which was April 17, 1926. The daughter, Mary Rose, was buried January 5th 1945, and Francis was buried October 13th 1950.
So poor Rose lost everyone close to her by the look of it - I've found no evidence of other children. Very sad.

Hello Sandra,
Great detective work! Yes, that is my tree on the website mentioned.
I did contact Calvary and they gave me a list of who's buried in the grave: Francis, Rose's daughter and Rose's husband, Patrick. No idea why Rose isn't there, I don't know what happened to her, but of course if Francis is buried there it must mean that his relationship with Rose was something special. It's so frustrating being so close to the truth but not quite there yet!
Thank you so much for your efforts in any case, much appreciated!

Hello Aghadowey,

Thank you also for your reply. Yes, these fascinating documents concern the correct people.

By the way, I hope I'm replying in the right way - I'm not sure if it's possible to direct a reply to a particular person.
This is a really great site though, and I'd never heard of it before!

Thanks again,

Helen

Hello sarahsean,

Thank you for your reply! I have checked these census documents before, they're excellent pieces of information.
I shall be in Roosky next Saturday, with my mother and my aunt - is there anything you'd like me to look up for you? We'll be heading up there via Athlone, and then on towards Druminardly and Kilglass.

Thanks again,

Helen

Hi Hugh,
Well this is fantastic news, I can't tell you how excited I am to have found a son of Hugh! I always wondered what happened to your father, but never found any evidence that he married or had children. And I was just messing about with Google yesterday when your post was listed, so it's pure chance that I found you here.
I have lots and lots of info about the various Giblins, including my version of a family tree, which I would be delighted to share with you - you probably know more than me of course! They are a very interesting family!
I think there might be a word limit here, so I'll finish for now and try to attach my family tree. It will be in PDF format.
Great to hear from you!
