Help! Have you heard of this name?
« on: Friday 08 May 15 19:55 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.
Ive found a ancestor who`s real name I don't know. Within his family & locals he was known as Sarcy/Sarsy ,,, pronounced Sar-see.
Has anyone heard of this name, is it a nickname or short for something else?
Many thanks Patzy.

What time frame are we talking about? Could it be Sarsfield? Like this guy, who's pretty famous?

Hey China  :)
I think you may have something there.... My family who vaguely remember him tell me its a nickname and his real name could have been PATRICK CALLAGHAN but I cant find a birth for Patrick so I thought Id post.
When I first found out about Sarcy c1918 I sensed resentment as he was born while out of wedlock. Im told Sarcy ran away as a young boy and no-one has heard or seen of him since.
Thanks Patzy
