I just came across this thread. It would be good to get a copy of the story written about Harry. Harry was my Grandfathers brother. I see that a few people have commented... family members. I have a couple of pictures of Harry that I came across when my Granda (Thomas) passed. Please let me know if you would like them.

Hi. My grandfather was James Owens. He had an older brother Henry and I presume your grandfather Thomas was a brother as well? Dan

hello, I can see I'm coming late to the party. I'm another distant relative. My grandfather Willie Docherty was a cousin and great friend of Henry. Their mothers were sisters. we used to have a photo of him wearing his belt. I met him once at a family party, he was very entertaining. if any other relatives want to share family info I would be interested in hearing more about their lives

Hi All I stumbled across this thread last night, apologies for how late I am to this thread.  Nora was my dads aunt. My Granda Gall and Nora were siblings. My Father is Frank Gallagher.  Ritchiebhoy my Dad would be your Mothers cousin if I’m correct.

Tonight at home I went through few photos and old newspaper pages of Henry. I'm his great granddaughter (his daughter Norah is my grandma). The family roots are spreading wider, I'm Italian and I live in Italy with my family but it's always good and heart warming to think back where you come from.
