Paddy Lawson

[strathmore]

Hi Corisade, I too hope Striker comes out of retirement, I have read some of his last postings re Paddy Lawson.  I belive the same Paddy Lawson is also my Grandfather.  I visited Glasnevin Archives in 2010 and did find out he is buried inGlasneviand upon doing an advanced search discovered he is in the same plot as his Mother & Father.  (Samuel & Catherine).  I am interested in finding some photos of him. Do you have any further information about him


Thanks
Strathmore

Hello Gabriel,
My Name is Margaret Mary Lawson, to the best of my knowledge I am the first grandchild of Patrick Lawson, I am named after his first wife also called Margaret Mary.  Growing up I did not know very
much about Patrick Lawson my Father Robert Lawson said that his Mother and Father split
for political reasons, and during those times I just accepted that explaination.  I did know that he
was a member of the IRB.

I have been in touch with David Nagel, I belive you would be his uncle, and he has been very
kind in sending me information about Patrick Lawson along with some photos.  I would be interested in  being in contack with you

Sincerely Strathmore

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for your reply, I am sorry that I was the one who  told you about Patricks Lawsons
first marriage to Margaret Mary Moore, I thought that everyone connected to the family
knew about it.  I did not mean to shock you.  I do have their marriage registration and I will scan it
and send it to you,  I am leaving on vacation tomorrow morning so I will send it to you when I return
home the end of february.  I would love to meet you too but ufortunately I live in Canada, I
emmigrated 1966, I do come back to Dublin every so often, and the next time I am there I will let you know.

Sincerely
Margaret

Hi Margaret
I was delighted to hear from you it is always great to meet other members of the family. Dave Nagle is my nephew and it would appear that i am also your uncle and your dads half brother.I have met your dad once or twice the first time was at my dads funeral, he did not say he was my half brother th e,I was led to believe that he had been adopted by my father's and I left it at that. I have been to your dad's house to look at his TV set but he never mentioned my dad at the time so nothing was said i would like to meat you and your family i am sure we would have some nice stories to share .My wife Claire often talks to your sister Colette whom she knows very well so it may be possible for you and i to exchange email addresses. Hope to talk soon your long lost uncle
Gabriel
PS Hope you had a nice holliday

Hi Margaret
Just  read my last my last message, sorry for the spelling I guess I do not type as well as I think I can. I meant to say I was led to believe that your Dad was adopted by my Dad's parents.
Hope to meet soon
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
just got your message through roots chat, I see that you have 4 posted messages, which means that you can use the  personal message board of roots chat, in your first two message
you tried to give me your e-mail address but it was delited through the moderator as they
do not allow that information on the postings, but after three posted messages you can use the personal message board, I found david on roots chat and after I had done three postings,
Iwas able to send him my e-mail address.  I would like to send you a copy of the long birth
certificate of Robert (also known as Joe), the Fathers Name is Patrick Lawson and the Mother is
listed as Margaret Mary Lawson (nee Moore) I can also scan and send you their marriage registration
if you would like to have them.

Margaret
