No, unfortunately, none. I never met my Grandmother Sarah, as she died before I was born.

Unfortunately, not the same Minnie. The lady I met must have been on the Slevin side of the family. The only one of my Grandmother Sarah's siblings that I met who had children who would be still alive was Annie, and, as she was the baby of the family, she possibly never met Minnie and would not have known anything about her to pass on to her children.....

Hi Kerri,
Well, we used to visit an old lady in Fermanagh who my father called Auntie Minnie. I was very young and did not realise that she might be related to Auntie Annie, Tess and Uncle Tom, but it is very possible! She lived with a family, who seemed to be either her son and his wife, or her daughter and husband, and they had one son that I used to play with. This would have been in the early 60's which, going by the Census would put Minnie in her mid 70's. What were your parents and grandparent's names on Minnie's side of your family?

Hi Gaffy,
The 1911 census is definitely Sarah Kirwan's family, despite the incorrect spelling of the family name.
I know this for certain because I met many of her siblings (my father's aunts and uncles), including
Teresa, Thomas and Annie, all who emigrated to Glasgow, Scotland.

James Slevin and Sarah Kirwan are my Grandparents. I am the daughter of their
son Thomas. I have photographs of them all if anyone is interested.
