Thanks for the advice mags.  I've just obtained a copy of the wedding cert and he is indeed called Henry and not Harry.  I have also found his father was called Henry and Not Joseph

So I'm also looking for Henry Alphonse(o) and Helen Geary

Many thanks for the reply.  My mother is still alive, Harry's daughter.  She says that Harry rarely talked about his past.  I think his family disowned him once he went to England.  My mother seems to think that Harry's parents were Commercial Travelers for Cleves (Cleaves?) of Limerick.

That's a good point about the Marriage Certificate, I do not have it, but I know the date of his marriage to my Gran at St Mary's Church, Cannock.  So the records will be in Cannock, where we now live.

I think the name is Harry, but cannot confirm this.  I have Harry as one of my names.  We are seriously thinking of looking first hand in Limerick as part of our annual holiday next Summer,  I hope I pick the right Ballysimon

Thanks again - all help is appreciated

Limerick / Harry Geary of Limerick

I am looking for the 'Irish Connection'  My grandfather was named Harry and according to sketchy family memory, was born in Ballysimon, Limerick on the 26 January 1900.  He was killed in a mining accident in Staffordshire in 1949.  He had a sister, Patricia, who is supposed to have become a Nun in Australia.  The Irish Registrar cannot help me on the flimsy evidence I have presented them

Family story says, Harry was bought up by relations, after his parent moved to the USA. Harry was supposed to have trained for the priesthood, but seems to have had other ideas. Harry joined the army but was bought out by his family as he was underage at the start of WW1

Thanks Rob, I have that Census entry.  My father does not recognise any of the names on your/my list.  I seems as if the family moved into St John's Road after the 1901 census.  I have copies of the census for the whole of St John's Road - so it looks as if I will have to cast my net further

Many thanks for trying

My great-grandfather Job, I believe from from the Black Country, My grandfather Frederick Arthur Lloyd was born on 13 December 1906, I guess his siblings were born before WW1.  So to answer your question (I thank you for talking the trouble to reply) I am looking up to and including the early 1970s

There is one branch of the family still living in St John's Road - I have these covered

I am looking for information on the family called LLOYD who lived in St John's Road Cannock.
I am interested in JOB LLoyd Snr, Thomas Bevan Lloyd (Killed WW2 buried in Australia) Job Lloyd jr, Frederick Arthur Lloyd.  The family at one time lived in 77 St John's Road.  Job owned the Post Office/Paper shop at one time opposite the Crystal Fountain

Thanks in advance
