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

Hi Pauline,Irish  ancestors are a challenge the way they kept altering names,eg my Mothers given name was Roseann but most of the family ,cousins etc only knew her as Ena. My cousins who live in Glasgow have allways gone by the name  Connor.and we have allways been O`Connor. If you would like to exchange e-mail address,mine is . (*).  All The Best for now .Tom.
