James John born 1885 was my grandfather, went to UK in 1920s with his wife Edith May Taylor and three children all born in Adare Co Limerick. Elizabeth, Alan (my father) and Maurice. They lived in Newmarket and he was a horse breeding consultant. My understanding is he was persona non grata in Adare (I think because he was a land agent's employee - rent collector). William was the oldest of the family, and had a twin sister, Mary. I have a lot of information on the Smith family in Bray from data in St Paul's churchyard, so I can go back to the 1790s or so. I would very much like to know how you fit in the picture. I have very little information on the offspring of the brothers and sisters of my grandfather, other than that supplied to me by Bruce Chandler who met with me in Bray in 2015. It wasn't until after I met him I found the maiden name of Mary Sadlier. My guess is it would be a lot easier if we could communicate directly, but I'm not sure if the rules allow us to do that. I live in London, Ontario, Canada. Are you able to make a quick call to Canada 011 519 471-7219 to make more meaningful contact? Or am I violating the rules by suggesting that. I suspect we might be able to supply each other with a lot of data.
