Hello

I came across this thread looking for a Gleeson family that resided at 9 Pound Street, Birr, likely around 1937-1947.

There were five children including: Christina (eldest, born 12/12/1937), Brandon and Johnie (youngest, possibly born 1947).

We think that the mother may have died when Johnie was born and the children were placed in care.

Any help very much appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat,
Are you looking for the children or their parents etc.
A Marcella Gleeson aged 43, Pound St died from heart problems in 1936, she had a son John but he was informant so probably too old for your family.

I'll look some more.

Margaret aged 29

Address is only Birr

Oh I should have said RootsChat doesn't allow the names of living or possible living people so if the children are still living you need to remove their names.

Thanks! Looking for any info on parents names and general info on the family.

The eldest child (Christine Theresa Gleeson) was born 12th December 1937, we know that she was the eldest and that she was ten when Johnie was born, and their Mum passed.

Any help very much appreciated!
