Hi Gerard
Many thanks for your posting. This may come as something of a shock to you, as your posting did to me.. but in brief.
My name is Damian John Keady, I was born in Assisi, a M&B home in Hampshire England in 1960's.
My mother is / was depending on if she is still living, T J K who's DOB i1936. She was born in Galway City Maternity Hospital to father Michael Keady, mother Mary Clancy. Her father Michael was a farmer and address is given as, Furbough.. I have a recent copy of T's birth record filed somewhere.
My mother T married A T on the 1960's, His surname T is maybe why he called himself T.. His occupation at the time of marriage was Factory Manager and T was a Dietician, A lived in Grays Essex, he was 45yo and my mother lived in Leytonstone and was 32yo at the time of the marriage. He was Danish. I have a copy of their marriage certificate I tracked down. I do also believe there was some children from the marriage. I also believe they used the surname T which is an anglicized version for T.
I know they continued to live in Essex after they married, as I tracked them to an address in Leigh on Sea Essex in the 1980's and I know they were married in the district of Waltham Forest, Essex.
I know very little about my mother as I never knew her, and nothing about her family, (my Irish Family) having been fostered at 6weeks old and then going into council care as a teenager.. I know my father was an Iraqi and do have a name for him. However T and my father were never married, and I know next to nothing about him either. I believe they met in Kensington London, as he was a diplomat and she was living in Collingham Gardens Kensington when I was born.
However, to cut a long story short, having been pursuing my maternal and paternal history for some time now since my own son was born in 1992, it would appear we may be related. This is the first evidence I have of any living relatives. I know that Michael and Mary are buried in Barna as I found their gravestone on the website a Billion Graves. Delia Kynes is also memorialised on the headstone.
I do have a lot of research material I have collated over the years, but would like to touch base with you if you feel that we are indeed connected.
Like I said, from what you said in your post regarding Te, this may come as something of a shock to you... as indeed your post did to me.
Kind regards
Damian
