This is great. Would love to contact you and know more about our family.  My Dad George Williams is still alive and is 94 years old. I am told there is family in Liverpool also but do not know how to contact them. I think only one of Emily's sister knew of Dad.

Have you tried the local papers in Dublin they would put a letter in their paper for you asking for information, maybe they would do a write up about George William.

PennyHal,  Thank you for your reply.   It would be great to have contact with you as we have been searching for Dad's side of the family for a long time now. It would be fantastic for him to see photos of his mother Emily Williams or other family members as he is 94 years old now and time is running out for him.

you say George was farmed out with John Morris.
Do you know if he was in an Industrial school possibly Artane.
It rings of similarities to my grans brother who through no fault of his own spent a few years in Artane and when he was 16 he was also farmed out to a farm in Dublin till he was 18 he was back home for the 1911 census in Wexford.
I got this info from the Christian Brothers

That's interesting - I thought unless you clicked not to be emailed that one was received
Glad you were informed and able to converse
