Ok so Patrick had a sister Bridget who married a man called Thomas Ellis they had 6 kids , one died Elizabeth but all the others survived John Joseph Ellis is my granddad so bridgett is my great grand mother  which makes Patrick my great uncle which means we are cousins somewhere down the line . Which is great cannot believe I've found someone I'm related too in Ireland my dad is so excited he has a cousin on the barretts side he remembers a christie Barrett if you wife knows them they lived in Cheshire not far from him. I have pictures of  the 3 eldest boys of bridgett in there military uniform and I only have one picture of my grandad John and a picture if Julia as an elderly lady. I don't have any pics of bridgett or Thomas which is a shame . I currently live in Brisbane Australia moved out here 4 yrs ago and have been doing the family tree for that long never been able to find out who bridgetts parents where so any info there would be great.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me, I am trying to trace my Irish roots with very little success, I know my Greatgrandfather Thomas Lawrence Ellis lived in 8a Scally's cottages in 1901 with his Wife Bridgett Barrett ( who's family also lived in Scally's cottages) they lived there with 4 children Michael 12 Henry 10 Thomas 7 Elizabeth 2,

I'm trying to find out where Scally's cottages are there is no map showing them or where they are, one of my relatives who still is in Ireland thinks they where around the North Dock not far form Customs House, But looking at old maps i cannot find them anywhere,

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks Jul's
