Galway / Re: Record Galway 1920's 1930's

Hi Tara,
I thought her maiden name was Bermingham with an 'e' she always pronounced it "Bermahum" my Grandfathers name was James Askew originally from an orphanage in Preston Lancs.  The children were Lilly, Seamus (James) Peter and one who is still living but memory is very poor.

Thank you both for the information.  My Dad married in Manchester but it was my Grandparents I am interested in.  My Grandfather was English but served in the Connaught Rangers as a boy soldier, married a girl Mattilda Bermingham in Galway and settled down there.  He was capped playing football for Ireland 3 times and played the saxaphone in the local cinema.  The family moved to Manchester in the mid 1930's 1 daughter and 3 sons.  I know the family history from then on but know nothing of their births or where they lived in Galway City prior to then.

Galway / Record Galway 1920's 1930's
« on: Thursday 16 August 12 12:34 BST (UK)  »
Are there no references or records of residents of Galway City in the 1920's or 30's.  All information on this forum are for an earlier period.  My father was born in the 1920's but I can't find where to look for information on him or his parents/siblings anywhere on the internet.
Any help much appreciated.

hello
i just googled and found some relevant information, maybe you can have a try.

All the best,
C

Many thanks, I did that some time ago, I know about Patrick Mower (Actor) he is my wife's 1st cousin though he doesn't know her.  His father left Wales and remarried in England, my wife's mother went to London and trained as a Nurse marrying a soldier from Devon, she never had any contact with her family, but never told us why.

Regards

I am trying to find information on the cemetery my wife's grandfather Archibald Mower is buried, all we know is that he died in Porth Pontypridd in December 1939.  Any pointers will be a great help.
