Hi,
Probably a bit late to this thread but only stumbled across it!
William James Lightbody was my Grandfather. Unfortunately I never got to meet him as I was born in 1966.
William James Lightbody married Mary Jane McArdle (my Granny May) in Bangor (not sure of the date!). My Grandmothers origins are from the Derrylin area of Fermanagh.
They had four children:
Anne Marie (Breen) my Mother. DOB 22/02/1941 - Died 07/06/2011
Two sons and a daughter (still living)

I remember as a child visiting Edith with my mother at her (your) house in Castle Square circa early 70's. I remember your mother was very welcoming and the open fire was well alight.

Its been so interesting reading about my Grandfather and his side of the family. I knew he served in the Navy but no real details but all this other information as been fantastic to read some I know of and some I never knew.
Regards
Dave
