Hello Marguerite,

My name is Siobhan Rooney and your Hubby Jason is my first cousin. ghanly told me she had been in touch with you. It will be great for us all to connect with Uncle Walter's family! Just found out recently that our grand dad John Hanley actually changed the spelling of the surname as there was another guard working with him that had the same surname so they did it in order to know one from the other!! So the original surname was in fact Hanley and he changed it to Hanly. My mom was Maisie and her surname was Hanley, the younger siblings have Hanly as their surname. I would be soooo interested if you could send me the info you got on our grandfather from the garda records. Hope to hear from you soon. Siobhan

Now that i've found loads of Hanleys/Hanly's i'm going to try find out about John's wife, Mary Mcgrath .All i know is that her father's name was John Mcgrath and that he was deceased by the time she was married in 1923. she was recorded as being a minor (under 21) so probably born after 1905. but no date of birth or age on the cert Her brother i assume it was a brother or it could be a cousin, was her witness William McGrath on her marriage cert. she was married in Church of st Michaels in 1923 .I suppose if anyone out there is related to Mary Mcgrath(Hanly) they would know she was married to a guard John Hanly and lived in Clonbullogue, Offaly in their later years from about 1935 onwards.
