Hi gallsouth thank you very much for the info it fills alot of missing parts...again thank you. So your father was my gran fathers brother. sorry to hear of his passing. Marie have you looked on the irish census for 1911 and you will see that who ever was recording the information miss spelt their surname as Macray. Your father and my gran father lived at 45.1 Stanhope st in ardoyne in 1911. Marie i dont know if you know this but the other childern who lived there were James aged 7 who i believed died in england, Sarah aged 4,and Daniel aged 3 i have never heard of any one speak of these children. I have other names of brothers and sisters who where born after the 1911 census and they are michael (micky) also believed died in england, susan wed peter ohanlon, kathleen wed john mcdonald and mary wed john mc auley. Marie you probably have all this but the census of 1901 state that your gr gran father had died. And that catherine had died by the time the 1911 census came around. Marie i will go now and hope you are in good health.. jim
