Brussels family in Roscrea

[101millie]

Hi,

Hope you can help.

I'm looking for any information on my nans relatives by the name of Brussels in Roscrea. My nan (Chrisie Brussels - married name Molloy) and her brothers and sisters left for Liverpool sometime around the 1920s. One of her brothers was named Martin Brussels. My nan had three children Margaret, Martin and Eddie (Eddie emigrated to Australia). My mum Margaret, dad Frank and children Mike and Kev visited Roscrea in the 60s and remember that there were quite a number of Brussels that lived in the same street. Some of the Brussels worked at the local sausage factory.

If you have any information whatsoever, I'd be very greatful of any help.

Kind regrads,

Mike.

By putting 'Brussells Roscrea' in the search engine, a Liam Brussels won two All-Ireland club hurling medals with Roscrea in 1969/70.
Other information there also.

Check out the BMD site at:

You'll find marriage for Martin 1902, and births for Martin 1885, Mary 1902, Christina 1905, Lizzie 1907 and Richard 1910.

Good luck with your research.

Hi, I think we may be related. My grandmother was Sally Brussels from Roscrea. My mother told me that Sally Brussels was one of 17!!! Sally was born in Roscrea in 1914.  Sally Brussels died at 24 from TB in Dublin at the Fever Hospital. Lizzie Brussels was a witness at the church when she got married to a John Mahon in Ranelagh, Dublin. Not sure what happened to all the other Brussels. I have a brother called Martin as well as two other siblings. Would love to compare our stories.  Noreen
