Oh, so you might be a descendant after all? Very exciting!!
This would be great as after marriage I have lost sight of Ann and Adam .. although I believe I have info at home re daughter Mary which I can hunt out.
I have also lost sight of my Great Grandfather x 2 sister Margaret born 1837 and sister of Ann. Last I have her is when she was sent to the Hexham House of Correction.
If you are a descendant, I would gladly send my email to you by pm. I have researched a lot on this family so can send you a lot over time. (However, I must say I do not know still what became of Ann and Margaret and I still do not know what became of my Great x 2 ancestor Elizabeth Conroy nee Fitzpatrick after 1881.)
What complicates things a little is that I also know that sometimes this family also used the alias name of Gilroy/Kilroy. This is definitely established. An article in the press also related that my ancestor James Conroy was also known as Gilroy - this came to light during a court case. Whether the use of these alias names was by accident or design I will likely never know.
Conroy, Fitzpatrick, Watson, Miller, Davis/Davies, Brown, Senior, Dodds, Grieveson, Gamesby, Simpson, Rose, Gilboy, Malloy, Dalton, Young, Saint, Anderson, Allen, McKetterick, McCabe, Drummond, Parkinson, Armstrong, McCarroll, Innes, Marshall, Atkinson, Glendinning, Fenwick, Bonner
