My husband's father Patrick McCarthy and brothers Daniel, James and Michael were all born between 1903 -1913 in Thomastown, KIlkenny, although Daniel may have originally had a different surname as rumour has it he was from the first marriage. They attended Thomastown Infants and their father(s) was a railwayman. No records can be found there though and I wonder if there births were regsitered as the nly records I can find don't match the birthdates from Mondelogo School, Waterford where they attended from 1917 and their parents were lodgekeepers at Boherwallin railway crossing. Patrick and James came to England in the 1930s, but Michael and Daniel lived out theit lives until the late 70s in Cappagh, Cappoquin, Waterford, dying in the early 1970s. I can find very little about their lives but the major object is to find the names of Patrick's parents. He was born in Thomastown in December 1913.
