Hi Tam
Thanks for getting back to me, good to hear from you too. I think I remember my dad mentioning that our name had been O'Connor at one point going back too but had originally been Connors. I also remember him mentioning that the Connors were either farmers/labourers or gravediggers! My grandfather Thomas Connor dropped the "s". I'm going to keep researching you never know we might be distantly related :-) I will let you know if I find out anything new.
Cheers
Pauline
