[HODGKISS77]

Hi,

I had completely forgotton all about that. It is now on my things to do list

Thank you

[BREEN]

Have u tried looking in the local phone book ?

  John Bermingham, Esq. J.P. Millbrook, Tuam

I'm not sure what the J.P. stands for..

Would J.P. be Justice of the Peace.  Any upstanding layman can be a JP and sit as judge in local court sessions?

Yes he was a justice of the peace and a famous astronomer (Birmingham crater on the moon is named in his honour)

Hi, my great, great grandparents where Peter and Bridget (Coreless) from Tuam, Galway as well.
Your great grandmother was Mary Ann and my great grandfather was Michael. They were brother and sister. They ended up in Farnworth, Lancashire.
My great grandfather was also called Michael (born in Farnworth) and he married Clara Stocks and immigrated to Canada with his family. I am also a Birmingham born in Canada. I am also looking for the parents of Peter and Bridget in Ireland and when and why they left Ireland.
Any help you can be would be appreciated.
Thank you
