Gleeson family, Birr

Yes, they’re the ones we found - with Carrol and Parnell as mothers maiden names. Some evidence to suggest that Patrick and Maria are related, but with different mothers.

Maybe cousins??

The address on the Gleeson Dunne marriage for Patrick is Glebe St. Birr, Patrick is I think 25 years.

This gives a birth of about 1897 so I think this is the family in 1911

There is a Joseph Gleeson born to John and Kate Parnell in 1903 (Birr)

Thank you, that’s helpful! I think we’re going to leave it for a bit now as we’ve gone back and got the level that we need to find more recent descendants. Thank you for all of your help, it’s very much appreciated.

[Sinann]

Oh I was busy adding to my last post, but I'll leave it there so, good luck with your search.
You can have a look for marriages of the other children which may help you find recent descendants.

[Bridget_M]

Ah sorry! I really do appreciate your help.

We’ve also got information coming from some of the more recent descendants, so I think searching marriages for some of the children may help fill in the gaps.

Sure we’ll get there, but I couldn’t have done it without you - thank you!
