Hi mate, nice to meet ya haha, I'm not sure what kind of Cousins that makes us, Margaret and John Lyons are my Great Grandparents, my grandmother is Kathleen. She came to England in 1948, to permenantly move over a year or so later with her my Grandfather, where she ended up working in London as an au pair. She was the Youngest of 12 children born to John and Margaret, which, I gather is how we're a generation apart. My Father was also an Irishman, and was from Limerick, and came over to the UK (Scotland initially) roughly in the 60s, before moving to England and meeting my mother, Mary. He only met my grandmother a few times, as he passed away from some complications of Cancer treatment when I was 5. They used to speak Gaelige together on the few occasions they met, which would've been interesting with the slight dialect differences between Leinster and Munster.
Nan's still with us, in her 90s now, in a nursing home in Buckinghamshire, due to dementia, primarily affecting her brain's motorcentre. That's about all I can fit on here but if you want to know more I'm more than happy to add you on social media, I'd love to hear about your side of things as well 😊
