Hi, not sure if this will be seen.. I can see it’s a very old thread… I’m also related to Thomas and Catherine Coote, their eldest son was Christopher Flynn. He Married Margaret Byrne, who was the daughter of a lock keeper, John Foley, and his wife Frances. I know she had a different surname I think she was a ‘Nurse Child’. Christopher or Kit as he was known lived in a lock keepers cottage in Castleknock.. and they had five children the eldest was Mary Flynn. She was my mother. The youngest was Dermot, he lived in the lock keepers cottage until his death 14 years ago. Mary died last year in 2022. Christopher and Margaret are buried in Mulhuddard cemetery, along with Dermot. Their grave is nearly back to back with Thomas Flynn and Catherine Coote. My mother remembered her granny Catherine, she was known as Kate. She died when my mother was very young. One of my Aunts, my mothers sister, was named Catherine after her, but for some reason goes by the name of Sheila. Thomas and Catherine were my mothers grandparents and my great grandparents.
