i know my grandfather francis only had one brother and one sister and his brother died in 1916 and he himself died in 1918 so the people you mentioned may be relations but their names are not familiar to me..

[gina45]

the names i have are fredrick mates... francis mates... eliza adams.. michael adams.. richard mates.. but francis and richard died  when they were in their twenties... and francis and eliza after marrying moved to killinskeyduff in arklow ... i cant find either where fredick mates the father is buried although i have checked records and graveyards.. i know where his wife eliza and sons are buried... so there is a lot of holes i cant seem to fill ....some spellings on the certs are mates and sometimes meates... both families seemed have lived in tigroney before they moved to arklow.. michael adams was a farmer out there and michael mates a labourer.... but no mention of the mothers at all...
