Hi yes I am part of that family. Florence Foley was my maternal grand mother although I never knew her. she was the youngest of thirteen, but only five survived infancy. Her mother was Margaret Foley Nee Connor, father was William(sugar refiners labourer), they married in 1885.Their children:
Mary b1888 known as cissy. She died in the May Blitz in Bootle in 1941, she was married then (Mary Sinclair), her death is commemorated in the role of honour at the Commonwealth War Grave Commission. She had a son William.
Margaret b 1890, she married John Carroll and lived in Litherland and owned a sweets and tobacconist shop. no children.
Catherine, (or Katie) b1895 married Ted Burns and lived in Anfield, Liverpool. she had 4 children, Edward;John;Gerald;Joan.
Elizabeth, (Lizzie) b1902 married James Byrne in 1924 and lived on the Wirral. They had 8 children, Margaret;Tommy'Alec'Geoffrey;Elizabeth;Paul;Roger and Maria.
Florence b 1905 married John Bracken in 1930. She died in 1951, a pulmonary thrombosis I think. She had had TB during her life and was never really in good health. She had 4 children, Sheila(my mum),maureen, john and david.
Margaret Connor was from Co Wexford, Ireland. William Foley was from Wexford too. William's father was named John, as was Margarets. I hope this helps your quest. I'd be very interested to know where you fit in and to find out if you have any missing pieces of the story. Regards
