Hi Debbie,

Had hoped I would have heard from you by now.
You mention Arthur having lost his arm at Dunkirk.
It was my father, Joe, Arthur's brother; lost it in First World War.
My father was also Anthony's brother.
Bernard McGeown was my father's dad; my grandfather.
Moved to Scotland from east Belfast quite some time ago.

Maybe better luck this time.

Hi Jeffrey,

How are you and Peggy keeping. It's been 45 years since I last seen you or Peggy. I last talked to you and Artie
the night prior to my Father's passing. Hope you and your family are keeping well.

Regards,
Your nephew Patrick.

Hello Patrick,
I haven't looked at this Forum in a while.
How are you and all the family.
Peggy is okay, getting old of course, like myself.
I've used this site before because I've been trying to get together our ancestry.
I've had some luck, but a lot of gaps.
Especially in my own case of being adopted.
Peggy doesn't remember much now, and there's no one else to ask.
I asked your father once about my berth mother, but really he didn't want to talk about it.
So I've very little to go on.

Hope to here from you soon.
It would be good to get your email address.
Bye

Jeffrey

I suggest you try this website for various spellings of your name:
http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm?fuseaction=Go.&UserID=

A lot of names have variants, depending on what the census taker 'heard', as not all folks were literate at the time.  (I've found people with three different spellings in my own line.) Then check the 1911 census online for those spellings:

Good luck.
