Do you need help in Athy, Co Kildare

[chrisline]

I think Michael died about 1947 and Bridget about 1962. I don't know if they died in Athey.

Also I beleive that Gerards brother died in a motorcycle accident in the 1940s, I think he was going to be a priest.
But these are not necessarily facts they may just be family stories.

By the way i am male please call me Chris rather than Christine.

Thanks for any help

sorry about the name I was sitting here reading and typing without my glasses , silly fool !! I will take a look at the burial records for the town during the week for you for in and around the dates you have and see if anyone turns up but that's about all I can think to do for you really with such a small amount of info but yoiu never know something might turn up, I assume they were RC ? do you have any idea of age at death ? 

[chrisline]

Hi

They were definately RC. The Brother would have been between 16 and early 20s. I don't really know about the others. Unfortunately my Father in law is dead. My Mother in lae only met his mother a couple of times.

Thanks

Chris

Well Chris as I said I will have a look at the burial records during the week for you and see if they are registered as being in the cemetry here in the town, if I find anything I will let you know, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you but it's a longshot, regards Damsel

Hiya Damsel,

I've just posted details of people named Crawley who were in Athy at the time the Valuations took place there in 1851 on chrisline's other thread ...  Crawley family in Athy.

Hi Damsel

I have been speaking with my Mother in law. She says that Bridget died in Blackrock so you won't find her death in Athy. But Michael did die in Athy and the brother. She also told me that Michael had a shop in Athy.  She thinks Gerry was born in Athy. One thing she knows which may not help is that they had a horse called dolly!

Thanks
for your help

Hiya Chris,

Was Dolly a thoroughbred The family trees of horses tend to be much better than those of people

Well Christopher dont know about Chrislines Dolly, but as I am in right royal, and world famous Horse Country here in Kildare, I myself am definitly a  thoroughbred, and I would have to say that I have met more thoroughbreds than Nags herabouts ! giggles

Hi Chris, just to let you know I am not forgetting about you I have just been so up to my eyes with study and assignments being handed in that I really hav'nt had time to bless myself !! I will put together the little you do have and head down to look at the records round about Thursday next week  when I take an hour or so off study and let you know if I come up with anything, I'm not sure the Dolly connection will yield much information however but I would take offence to Christopher alluding to the fact that you might have had a Nag in the family tree !! giggles
