Mayo / Re: Gibbons, Burke and Carney families from Ballyart, Parke, Turlough, Castlebar

Hi Brendan,
Not sure how to use the inbox as I have just joined and am not too hot with computer technology.
My father is the child shown on the 1911 cenus aged 5.
My grandmother Bridget Howley was from Lack and the eldest of her family. Her Mother was Mary Jordan. A member of her family had the Howley's pub in Castlebar. I have contact with descendents of her family.
Yes the story with regard to the brothers is what I had been told.
Where are you located? I am in Rio de Janeiro at present.
Teresa.

I am descended from great grandparents Michael Gibbons (dob 1841) & Mary Quinn(dob 1843) married 20/2/1868 Turlough. The Tolans are my relations sharing our grandparents Patrick (dob 1/9/1870 and Bridget Howley married 1905.
My Father told me that the Gibbons' brothers of Rockfield were related both on their paternal and maternal sides.
The Gibbons family he seemed to think had arrived in Rockfield from Westport. However I do not have anything to back this up.
 My interest follows what you are doing and would be grateful if you have had any more success? I find everything very patchy.
