Sarah Masterson

[barryd]

One of the more famous Irish Mastersons. Bartholomew (Bat) Masterson, born a subject of HM Queen Victoria, on November 26, 1853 at Henryville, now Quebec, Canada. Son of Thomas M. Masterson and his wife Catherine U. McGurk. Thomas born in Cadada of Irish heritage and Bat's mother born in Ireland.  Lawman and gunfighter and in latter years a Newspaperman. One quote from him I like:

"Every dog, we are told, has his day, unless there are more dogs than days."

Hi,

Sarah Masterson and Mark Brown are my great grandparents. I'm the grandson of their youngest son Norman.

I'd love to find out more about them both!

Thanks.

Hi pbrown66 - you wrote -
'Second child (Auntie Elizabeth) was born is Pewsey (1910).
all the others were born in Preston between 1911 & 1929, EXCEPT for one son, who was
born in Malta during Marks tour of duty. That son is called Frank and was born in 1921'.

I am Frank's daughter, Melanie.  Frank was good friends with James and Betty Marsh who lived in Preston.  I was born in Dec' 1964 in Preston, as Betty and Frank had a long standing affair - so I was illegitimate.  I used to meet him every week, secretly for years. Often in Blackburn where he lived.  His wife Ivy knew about me but nothing was ever mentioned.  I met Helen, his sister often and her husband Bobby in Preston too.  Perhaps we could exchange emails and catch up? I guess you'd be my cousin? I hope you get this message! I have a few photographs of him, and news clippings of Grandads death report.  Kind regards Melanie

Melanie's inbox isn't full

A member has to make at last 2 posts (or is it 3?!) before the PM system is open to them.
So if Melanie makes another post you should be able to send her a PM.

I'm new to this page and so I don't quite know what inbox is or isn't full?!  Anyway, I saw I need to make 3? Posts so this is my 2nd...
