The following is a transcript of a letter which I have, it is from from Johney Tyrrell to his sister and father in Ireland:-
Houston, Texas, 2218 Singleton.
Dear Sister and Father,
Just a few lines to let you know I am quite well and hoping you are the same. Times are very hard in this country right now but I am working loading ships I am a foreman. I load some ships going to Dublin sometimes. I will be 57 years old in November I don't look but about 40. I am going to write to Minnie and Michael today. I have all the photos your sent me but I am going to ask Minnie to send me one of Violet is Henry married yet I guess Frank is married by now. Send me Letty's address in Glasgow and I will write to her for she was the only girl in the world that I ever loved. I a'nt got no news to tell you but remember me to all.
I remain as ever your brother
Johney,
Address: 2218 Singleton Street, Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
The above is a letter was written by my great great uncle Johney which was written in the early 1920's - he was one of 5 children his surname was Tyrrell and came from Ireland.
He wrote the letter to his sister Margaret (Maggie Frank) and his Father who was Frank Tyrrell. He referred to Minnie and Michael who were his sister in law and brother respectively, Violet was his niece, Henry and Frank were his nephews (Henry was my grandfather)
He referred to Letty who I think was a distant relation (I stand to be corrected on that).. The address that he wrote from in Texas - the house was built in the 1920's - as far as I am aware he died in the U.S.A. if anyone knows anything about Johney or what happened to him while there can you please leave a message!
Thank you.
