« on: Friday 28 August 09 17:56 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I've been doing a bit of family research and my g grandmother was called Christina la Blanc. She was born in Portarlington c1875. I know that her father's name was William and that he was a butcher, and that she had a brother, also called William, born c 1883.
She married in Castlebar in 1897 to an English soldier. Her brother was also in the army and served during WW1. I know his address abt 1925 was Grouse Lodge, Derry Villa, Portarlington.
Don't know if this may be any connection for you. Have very little other info I'm afraid but I'd love to find out more.....
