Hi dathia

thank you very much for looking up all the records on this subject for me and Liamnt; the links are a great help!

I was lead to believe that John Edward died in Jan 1926 as this was the date craved onto a family headstone

This was erected however in the early 90s so the family may vey well have got the date wrong I think i'11 order the photo copy of the death cert etc as only 4 euros

Further to my post after checking my records I was incorrect John Edward, the oldest child of Patrick Tobin, did in fact die in 1926 and the story told is that he was killed by the Black n Tans. Thomas your G Grandfather was known to have left for the US. My Grandfather visited him in 1930 intending to stay (I am glad he didn't!) but was deported! He arrived in England as stated in the early 1930s
(The moral of the story is that you should always check your records before making a post)

Hi Liam NT

Was Thomas your grandfather My Grandfather Richard his brother left Ireland in 1930 for the US he left and returned in the UK in the early 1930's and married my grandmother in 1934

He never spoke about his family in Ireland ever!

It was only when my younger brother went to Lisseevin in the late 90's and unbelievably meet some Tobin relations including some 1st cousins once removed

The story the current Irish Tobin's told about Thomas was that he was killed by the Black an Tans in 1926!! hence my statement

Any idea how we can contact so I can send you what I have from Patrick Tobin onwards not sure whether to post an email or mob number on here
