Dublin / Re: Gibney's
« on: Thursday 08 September 16 23:18 BST (UK) »
Bridget Gibney was my great aunt. She is buried in Southern Cemetry Manchester. Michael was her older brother.
They originated from near Drogheda in Co.Meath, but there were a few Gibneys. Father Patrick Gibney, stonecutter and there is a family history that they were involved with the construction of St. Peter's church in Drogheda.
Bridget also had sisters Catherine, who married in the UK. Also Jane who married a Patrick McGinn and lived in Cheeverstown off the Naas Road Dublin and not Templeogue where the care home moved to. Jane Gibney became McGinn funnily enough had a dairy in Cheeverstown.
The history goes back to Newtown Platten in Meath which is only a few miles from Drogheda. I have screenshots of birth of them if needed. I also have photos of Jane and Bridget. Bridget was an Aunt of my Aunt Patsy. Patricia Stubbings who married John Michael O'Toole. When they went to live in Manchester they took old Auntie Bridge with them and we lived with my great Aunt Jane in Cheeverstown
