« on: Friday 25 January 08 16:41 GMT (UK) »
Family legend has it my GGGF was killed at PuckFair,Killorglin.
 He went to sleep under a tent and when they were dismantling the site he was hit over the head with a sledgehammer mistaking his head for a tent peg. A wild Irish folk tale or the truth .No luck of the Irish here
His son Michael came to Wales met Margarett from Midleton Cork and they had 7 children Humprey my GF bing one of them
bringing upthe family in Aberdare Merthyr Cardiff and Cwmbran 
Brickwall at present
