Hi

Isn't it funny, my mother's name was Eileen.  maybe named after your grandmother.  I only knew that my Grandfather and is sister Muriel lived in Australia.  My mother did not say much about my grandfather's family except that he was born in New Zealand.  I have a photo of Muriel and one of her sisters, don't know which one. 

The whole family thing is facinating, I never knew that my G/g father was Scottish and his father was a ship captain until I started doing my research.  (This is on my G/M side), her family is facinating, convicts, women who had a number of relationship and a number of children and a death at sea.

It is amaging how much time it takes up

Sorry, Job Hudson Snr Married Mary Anne Hewson in 1838.  Their son was Job Butler Hudson, born in 1839, he married Clara Jones in 1858.  Sorry new to this.
I have no real details about the first Job Hudson

Hi

Great to hear from you.  My grandfather was John Joseph O'Grady who migrated to Australia where he married my gandmother.   His father was Patrick O'grady (born about 1862). Patrick's parents were Malachi O'Grady and Bodelia Hynes. 

Patrick married Mary Glassett (or Glassett) they had many children, my grandfather was one. The other son Ernest died in France about two weeks before the end of the war.  Mary died at the age of 33 (probably after having so many children).  Patrick remarried and had four more children.

It seems as though we come from the same family, where do you live.

I have just started researching my family, it is facination, especially my grandmother's family, there are a few skeletons there.  I would be grateful to see any details you may have.

Thanks for you response.  Lea
