Any Tracey/O'shea information would be great.
Many thanks.

Roscommon / Re: Martin Tracey, my wife's great grandfather

Thanks for the reply.
My grandmother has said that her mother Ann Flanagan (Married name) used to talk of Ann O'shea. Apparently she liked a drink and used to go around regularly proclaiming " if you B*****ds want me, you'll have to come get me"! Unfortunately I have to idea who may be coming.
I am assuming the Tracey's and O'shea's come from her family line as she said she didn't know her biological Father. However she didn't mention if he died or was absent.
My Nan also has said the names Matilda McCabe and a Margaret Whitehead- McCabe were also Grandmother & Great Grandmother of hers but I don't know if it's from the same line. (I suspect it may actually be White-McCabe)
She also said that we were related to the whites, who were pipemakers & had a factory in Glasgow, mentioning some kind of explosion. This would possibly fit in with the Tracey/O'shea line as you mention Martin is recorded as a pipemaker.
I have found a W.White & Sons, Pipemakers 1805-1955. 26-42 Bain St, Glasgow. It's in the Barra's.
Although it says 1805-1955 this site was started in 1867 & completed 1877.
They were apparently the largest pipemakers in Scotland, but am unable find any information on them or the company. Only architectural pictures and refernces to pipes being found.
Any help matching/linking these names would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi there,
I've been researching my family tree and the names Patrick Tracey and Ann O'shea and the connection to limerick have all come up.
The information came from my grandmother who comes from glasgow, where Martin and Ann ended up. It seems our trees may be connected.
I would be grateful of any information you have on that line either before Patrick Tracey or after Martin & ann
