Hi, I have a feeling we have your James in our Tree. If I am right, his Brother Martin my GGF also worked for the railroad. We were known as the Nolan's of the Railroad in Dualla outside Cashel. All the line comes form Rathdowney. We have a Jack in our tree, and unless he had a twin sister, its plausible the year you have might be wrong, but very close. The Railroad is the key tip here. Worst case they are cousins or railroad was the only employment and its a coincidence. Any way to chat off this thing? They were all in Ballybuggy and Glosha. Jack was one of 12+ children.
