Re post from Kealy111

Definitely the same family as Cimbrio is looking for.  Jim was also my uncle, if I remember rightly your grandmother was Betty?
Remember visiting them in Gloucester

Hi Wednesday, hi Kealy111! I'm just seeing your messages now. We are definitely talking about the same family! I have fond memories of Jim, he was the only grandfather figure I ever had, and everyone in the family loved him as a father/grandfather - even nowadays we remember his birthday and talk about how lovely he was. I remember him and my nan visiting us when I was young (in Spain) and I remember asking him to list all his siblings' names, as I was amazed there were so many - I suppose it was an early sign that I was passionate about genealogy! Feel free to DM me if you need any info, I'm also happy to share a few photos of Jim.
Best wishes

So lovely to hear from you.  What a small world!  Do you have any details eg names and dates of birth of Jim's parents?  I never met my grandfather (Jim's  dad) and I'd like to try and trace more details about him.  Its on my list of things to do to try and fully trace my parents family tree. Mt Dad "Patrick" moved to England when he was still a teenager, and didn't retain regular contact with a lot of his siblings.  I'd love a picture o Jim if you have one.  I think most of the original 13/14 siblings are now deceased.   Possibly a sister in Ireland still living, and I think another sister went to America.

Hi All, Im researching my paternal family tree and would be really keen to speak to anyone with information on Kealys in the Gloucester area around the early 1970s. Any help gratefully received.

Merry Christmas
