Hello John and all other Carrigy relations,

Sorry that it's been so long - great information from you, thank you.

Yes, my Nanny (Margaret) lived in Neasden. She was the loveliest person you could meet and sadly died in 1976, the year after my Dad (Pat Corbett, her son) died aged only 44. Nanny was heartbroken to lose her son. She was married to John Corbett, who died in 1971.

My Uncle Tony (Margaret's middle son) now lives in Co. Tipp., having lived in London since birth. The youngest son, Sean, died in about 1995. He, too, lived in London.

Do you live in London? I am in Norwich but visit London a lot, where my sister and brother live.
Nanny's (Margaret's) three sons were born in London, but had to go Ireland during World War 2 without Nanny or Grandad for safety. He went to the Carrigy family home and spoke of his aunts and uncles. My Dad boarded at a school in Westmeath and returned to London as a young man.

I'd love to research the great grandparents more - do you ever visit Westmeath? It would be good to meet up.

Ann.
