Hi Old Nick, I got your PM but as I've only just joined rootschat I cant reply until I've at least another two posts! To answer your question, John and Julia's daughter Eliza 'Gascon' married Michael Lyons of Clonmore, and I descend through that line. John Gaskin was apparently originally from Springfield, co. Carlow, which I've not yet been able to identify yet, though there is a Springhill near Rathnapish, Carlow. The route I'm currently looking at is whether John is a son of Pat Gaskin of Wellington Quay Square, Carlow, who was apparently a baker; they would also seem to be closely related to the McWey family of Carlow town and Sleaty. There is a also a Mary Gaskin of Cappalug who married a John Whiston on 16 June 1874; I think she is a sister of Eliza, but that against needs to be confirmed. Not gone through all the resources yet, so other things might pop out. Regards, D.
