Hi. I'm picking up a very old thread about the Ball and Dingle families.
I have far too much material to post in just one shot. It covers the families Ball, Dingle, Moore, O'Neill for over 10 generations and across 4 continents.
28/01/1894 Thomas Dingle married Jane Ball on (daughter of John Ball & Anne Ball - née Kearns). Amongst other children (Margaret - 17/11/1894, Mary Teresa - 01/08/1896, Thomas Joseph - 16/06/1897), they had Anne Eva (29/10/1899), Kathleen (23/08/1905) and Christine (28/12/1907).
Anne & Kathleen were placed in foster-care at Cellbridge, Co Kildare. Christine became a domestic servant in England.
Anne/Annie Eva (won a lottery & bought a shop & house) married Richard Moore in 1920. They were friendly with & entertained Joe Lawless, Sean T O'Casey, Dan Breen & Frank Aiken in their house on the North Circular Road (5 children: Maria/Maire, Kathleen/Kay, Carmel, Eamonn, Bernadette/Bernie). Later moved the shop to the Whitworth Rd & home to St Bridgids Rd.
Kathleen married Joseph/Joe McDermott in 1938 (no children).
Christine married Horace Gruby in 1942 (1 daughter, Patricia - married to John B Rose in 1964)
If any of this is of interest, let me know & I'll try to find time to post more.
