Hi there,
I'm on my partner's account at the moment. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody might be able to give me some help. I'm tracing my maternal grandmother's family and I've hit a bit of a dead-end.
The family tree that I have so far is as follows:
Mary (O'?)Donovan married John (O'?)Donovan who was a Police Commissioner in Mallow Co Cork.
They had several children, including my g grandmother Mary (known as Molly b. 1895). These were:
-Annie / Hennie b. 1890 approx
-Michael b.1895/1896
-Paddy (Patrick?) b. between 1901-1908 (Christened in Blackpool Cathedral, Co.Cork)
-Timmy
-Katie
-Nora
My g grandmother married Christopher Lowe (b.1895). Christopher fought in WW1 and served in France, Egypt, Jerusalem and Jordan. He came back alive.
I don't know about Christopher's parents, but I know that he had siblings:
-Denny (Denis?) b. between 1901-1905
-James b.1897 approx
-John who worked in the sugar factory in Mallow
-Paddy (Patrick?) who lived in Limerick and moved to England, worked in the firebrigade
-Tommy who was conscripted in WW2, fought in Jersey, married an English woman and never returned to Ireland.
My great grandparents Molly and Christopher had 3 children (all in Mallow):
-John Lowe b.1920
-Christopher (Christie) Lowe b. 1921
-Mary Lowe b.1927 (my grandmother)
I know most of the family tree from there onwards but need some help finding my ancestors and cousins. If anyone could provide me with any information I'd greatly appreciate it.
