Holy moley you guys have been busy. :-)  I really appreciate the efforts that you are going to here :-)

from what i know from my grandmother, Margaret Downey had the children that have been mentioned in the last posts, but whats so strange is the wedding.  Im wondering if they would have waited until 1915 to marry.  Would that have been strange for that era?  Margaret Downey was originally a catholic and her husband a protestant.

Hi there,
I am searching for some information on Margaret Wilson (nee Downey).  She was born about 1884 in Larne, but then came up to belfast in about 1907/1908, she married a man called John Wilson and had a number of childre (Cecil/Evelyn/Eileen/Reginald & a few more i think).  As of 1930 she lived in Park Avenue, Belfast and I believe that her husband was part of the Gillespie & Wilson furniture store.

if anyone can give me any help or guidance on finding out more about Margaret or her family it would be greatly appreciated :-)

Many thanks
Claire

Hi all,
I am trying to trace some distant relations who may still be alive and living in the USA.


^(*) Gallagher (may have been born in new York), his wife
^(*) and as of 1960 they had a daughter called
^(*) (who was possibly born in the 1950s)

This ^(*)Gallagher would have been a 2nd cousin of my grandfather Michael Gallagher from Ireland and he wrote him a letter in 1960.  unfortunately there was no address attached to the letter, so I am at a bit of a loss as to how to progress further.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :-)

Claire
