My aunt, Frances Catherine O'Rourke, was born in Ballinaboy, Clifden, Galway in 1916 to Thomas Augustine O'Rourke and Maria Madden. Frances moved to Dublin in her youth and I was told she had an upholstery business but I don't know where. She married in Dublin David Harnett (b.1913 in Youghal) who, I have been told, owned some grocery shops. Again, I don't know. I was led to believe that members of the Harnett family are still involved in the grocery business in Dublin. It would be good to know anything relating to them. I am trying to find death dates for my Aunt Frances and for her husband. They were married in Sept 1939 in Dublin North. They had eight children, the last born in 1955.
I am also hoping that someone in the family may also be researching and if so they might know the death date and death place of my Grandfather, Thomas Augustine O'Rourke, born Leeds 1864, engineer, who worked in Dublin and later for Marconi in Galway. Any information gratefully received. Thanks.
