Hi to Glynny.
I think I may have some information for you.  It seems like your grandmother Aunt Josie and my grandfather James Deane were brother and sister.  My grandfathers mother was Ann Maher and they did settle in bray - . I remember the house in tyrrellspass.  We visited Aunt Josie and uncle Jack many times. 
Regards
Dorothy. Hughes

Hi Dorothy. Nice to hear from you. We are definitely related then. I don’t have much info on your grandfathers side. Are you the daughter of Christina then? I too remember the house in Tyrellspass , no water in the house, having to use a tap outside, every meal was shank, cabbage and potatoes,  walking miles to go to mass everyday,  sharing one bed with 5 of my cousins....but they were fantastic holidays and I wish I could do them again. The house is still standing, but in need of major repair. Overgrown and much smaller then I remember. Do you recall Josies children? Sadly, there is only one left now. My uncle Joe who lives 10 miles away from me in Wales. Hope to hear back from you. Glad you made contact.

Hi Glinny.  Nice to hear from you.   Yes I am on of Christina's daughters - 2nd eldest.  My mam was an only child and was known as Mai Murphy (Deane).  I was in tyrrellspass about 2 years ago and saw the house- you're right it is in need of repair.  You have lots of happy memories..  I must dig out the old photos.   Did you find the grave.  I have a picture of the headstone.  Mam used to visit your uncle John in London.   I haven't looked much into the maher side. I only signed up a few weeks ago.  So trying to figure it all out.
