Mills/Ginnelly connection to ZoeC

[Northerngirl]

Hi.

I am posting this on the off chance that ZoeC reads it and will contact me.

She has all of my family interests in her surname table.  I cannot contact her because she has not made any postings.  She has not been on this site for a long time.

PLEASE do not add anything here unless you know ZoeC.

Yours NG

I'm glad you two were able to connect, hopefully since that's taken care of you won't mind me asking if you might have any info regarding Ginnelly's, my 2 x great grandmother was a Bridget Ginnelly who married John Michael Gannon, both from Westport, Co. Mayo. Her father is listed as Patrick Ginnelly.

They immigrated with my great grandfather, John Joseph Gannon (b. 1903) after he established residence some time after 1918.

Any help is appreciated

And actually, her father, Patrick, last name is also listed as McGinley, whilst hers was Ginnelly - but I've read it's not uncommon for minor changes to have been made to the sur names over time with each generation.

There's this marriage - 26 December 1896 at Kilmeena RC Church, for John Gannon and Bridget Ginnelly.

Thank you for this information!! I will be surprising my mother with a visit to her grandfather's hometown of Westport, and will be looking forward to visiting around the area other places of family interest, such as this!
