hi james
i am living in county limerick, i moved from kishikirk to patrickswell in 1990. the hayes family would have connections to the flynns and carberrys from cappamore. i think my fathers mother was flynn.
what i do know is that my grandfather patrick [patsy] hayes worked in the quarry breaking rocks into what were known as spawls, which were then used on the roads. he manually broke them with a hammer until the introduction of machinery, it is possible that he lost his job after that, i dont know that for sure.Two of his daughters, mae and nora emigrated to america around 1929 and both married irish men in america. I know that noras son dennis sullivan is still alive today and is a bishop in or around yonkers in new york.all All but one of my grandfathers offspring are deceased, the only one alive today is kevin,[my uncle] who will be 90 years old on the 3rd of october this year.
