Did you receive any response from Gerry - he has not been in touch since spring 2012.  I have a little copy book diary of Pc 108a James Coffey, found in a derelict house in Dublin. date 1887.

Hi Annie.

I hope you are keeping well.

I have been very ill since we last 'spoke' culminating in open heart surgery in November last year. The op was successful but I suffered renal failure post op and spent 25 days in ICU on a dialysis machine.

In January of this year my wife Norma was diagnosed with cancer and has been in and out of hospital 11 times this year. She is due in again in the next week and may be in over the Christmas.

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with you, but with all that has been happening, I didn't even turn on the Pc. When I did turn it on there was a virus on it which prevented me from accessing anything. I had it removed the other day and am trying to do catch up on everything.

Apologies again.

Regards,

Gerry.
PS. Get any further with Zion Mills?

Hi, do you still have this notebook? My great grandad Coffey was a pc married to Norah, in Dublin, Malpas Terrace/Place, I have a formal picture of the 2 of them, he has handlebar moustache and wearing medals. Would love to see this if possible? Thanks

[irishabroad]

Yes I have it, the Dublin Police Museum also have a digital version. they might like a photo as well as me? I got very fond of this pair - she wrote a lively poem - the manuscript is digital on another computer. I will look up and email you. great to share it - burning a hole through my shelf for years!

Hi Donna  I am Annie, I'll send it, when I have your email address - xxxxxxx. I'm in Dublin.  I already sent it to one of your family in or around Birmingham I believe, a few years ago.

Hi Annie, my details are xxxxxx, I still have a sister and cousins in Dublin, but wasn’t aware of extended family in Birmingham, so that is really interesting, will email that pic on Sunday/Monday when I’m back, along with a pic of their son, my grandad, who was a merchant seaman, and his son,my dad, if you want? Best wishes, Donna
