Hello again, so sorry for the delay in replying but just to put you in the picture my husband got knocked down whilst on a pedestrian crossing in SEptember and I am kept pretty busy as he is unable at the moment to do certain things by himself, fortunately the car clipped him but he has three fractures of the spine and has to wear a very tight brace which restricts him from doing lots of things, this happened four days before his 86th birthday! Anyway enough of our troubles, I had hoped that checking the family tree again would help keep him interested in things and so far it is working.
I have done a bit more research but find that you clever people have done the same I found the tombstone for Thomas and Mary Kirby and daughter Catherine and was going to tell you about it, silly me I should have known you would get there before me, also thank you for the death record of Thomas Browne son of Catherine and John I am so pleased that at least one of their children survived into adulthood.
the witesses to John and Catherine Kirby's marriage were a John Moran and Mary O'Donnell, my husband's mother was an O'Donnell and her family are from Westport and sadly my husband's cousin Paddy O'Donnell passed away in 2019 my husband's last known relative in Mayo.
I am so grateful for the help and information you have given me and I intend to read through all the info again with my husband and see what we come up with before we will then have to turn our attention to the Galway D'Arcy family which is another minefield.
Hopeully I will be back once I have read everything again, THANK YOU AGAIN Joan
