Hi Tu 2 Tu, Yonks Ago, very busy at the moment so do excuse delays. Unfortunately I know nothing about his siblings or parents, only his offspring, that is what I am going to try checking out in the next few months when time permits. Here's what I know at the moment. Born in Rosses Point. Died in January 1941 in his late 80's or early 90s, so born around 1851. Went to work for Sir Henry Gore Booth when a young lad, (his father may have previously worked for Sir Robert). Worked there all his life until retiring in 1930's. Married (Margaret?) Drury from Dunowney. Had three children Augusta, Kathleen (my grandmother) and one male son, I think named Thomas as well. Son and wife died at young ages. Augusta never married, my grandmother married Owen Leonard in Grange. In his retirement lived with my grandmother in Wolfe Tone St and died in January 1941. Buried in Sligo cemetery. Yonks ago,about your query, he is the first to be buried in that grave because I have the grave receipt where my father purchased it in 1941. He, his two daughters, my aunt and my parents are buried there so that won't tell you anything about his ancestory. He has to be born in Rosses Point around 1850. Is the local PP amenable to searching his records. Let me know if you come up with any leads. I won't be able to search properly until late October.
