seeking contact from any relatives of Connor/Connors/O'Connor related to family from Rathvilly Carlow.  Tony

yes, I have Father's B.C. 1909 Dublin is definite, my Uncle died in 1955 age 63 hence the C1882 D.O.B

I have a 90% marriage for my paternal Grandparents in 1882 that is, the address of the tenement where they lived in Dublin relates to the address my Uncle lived in at the time of his demise.

the 90% difference being that Grandmother's maiden name is given as Carolan on the marriage cert in 1882 and Carroll on Father's B.C. understandable given that Carolan is the Irish version of Carroll, ergo, erring on the side of probability.

I have no physical information whatsoever on Aunt Bridget other than what my Sister has said about being temporarily "fostered" by her in Birmingham. (it's a long, but interesting story of our lives)

Incredibly, from a post I made in earlier in the Carlow section I made contact with a relative who has indicated that my Mother's Brother also settled in Birmingham, so both sides of my family lived in close proximity, most likely without knowledge of each other.

seeking information on my Aunt Bridget (nee) Reilly lived in Birmingham in the 60's. all I have to go on is that she was my Father's Sister and my Sister stayed with her leading up to and or following our Mother's demise in 1964  but cannot recall Bridget's married name.
