Offaly (Kings) / Re: Marks Family in Birr Ofally Ireland

Hi James,
My name is Margaret McCallum and I live in Glasgow. My GG grandmother was Jane Price therefore it looks like your father was my GG grandmothers grandson. (I'm a novice at this so please bare with me.) My G grandmother was Mary Frances (Fanny) and according to an aunt Fanny moved to Glasgow because she was disowned by the family for marrying 'beneath herself'. Fanny tried to establish a connection after the death of a child but unfortunately her mother had passed away. I know my grandmother did visit your grandmother 1924 or thereabouts. I think Fanny and Jane kept in contact until Fanny died.
This is all the information I have and I would be grateful for any information you can supply.

Yours
Margaret McCallum.
