MAHER family of Bullock, Dalkey

[billorc]

Hi,
My great grandfather was Thomas Stapleton and he lived at Pilot cottages up until he drowned in Jan 1911 on way back from duty on the Kish Lightship. He left a widow and seven children. I would be interested in any information you may have.

I believe I am also related to the James Maher and John Maher mentioned previously and would be keen to hear from Anchor4208, Dubnut (or anyone else that might be related) to compare notes.

Welcome to RootsChat, SBD 

Anchor4208 was last online here in February 2016, Dubnut in February 2019 - but hopefully they will still receive an e-mail notification of your post, and will hopefully reply.

If you make at least one more post, you can use the PM (Personal Message) system to contact them - I'm sure they will be interested to hear from you.

Many thanks Kiltaglassan - that is very helpful
