My husbands father was William Gillooly
and he was born in the Plantation area of Glasgow, he had one brother
Michael and one sister Grace. William worked for British Rail, and Michael
worked in the docks, because their mother had died when they were very
young Grace was sent to England and worked in service. Williams father was
also named Michael and came from county Sligo in Ireland, he had married
Maria Dwyer went to work in Glasgow. They had two children but Maria died
and Michael left both his children in care, sadly however both children
died within months of their mother. Michael then seems to have gone back
to Ireland and stayed there for some time. He then married a Grace McBride
and they had three children (William, Michael, and Grace.) We can go back
to my husbands great grandfather who was married to Honora Scanlan they
lived in Sligo, and they only children that we can trace are Michael and
Peter. Unfortunately this is as far back as we can go. If anyone has any
suggestions on how to continue we would appreciate hearing from you. |
