behan house hold 1911!!!

[mnbarrett]

Hi Paul

I am attaching a headstone, from my family, which lists the james junior as buried here.
I hope there is still a connection, as there were not that many behan familes in Dublin.
My Ggf was a butcher later in life, if that helps any

I have not been able to find james and annies marriage, so i cannot confirm her maiden name as yet, still looking

Regards

Michelle

hi michelle
just found james leo behan(jr) was burried in glasnevien he died on the 5/3/1984 which matches my mass card!!so i dont think we have the same james!!but if we have the same family name in the same house(10 dickson row ushers quay)in 1911 there has to be some sort of connection!!!
