Hi ,
I'm most probably well off the beaten track here but I've started to look into my family tree .My grandfather was called Christopher McGovern I am told he was Irish and my grandmother was Rita Gaskin who I'm told was polish .They got married in 1939 in Thanet Kent and had 3 girls and two boys ,one of those children was a Christopher Michael McGovern ,my father .The marriage ended and Rita Gaskin went on to marry and Alfred Stockwell and have another nine children I think .I just wondered if it could be linked to your Gaskins at all or if you may know how I'd find any more info out .
Thank you

I'm brand new to this board and came across it following a small bit of research about my grandfather John born 1897 I believe who's name was also Gaskin. I know he was born in Dublin and although I have followed him in the 1901 and 1911 census I get stuck because my research is throwing up far too many of them before that date all from Rathdown Blackrock and not sure if they were all related. His father was Michael born about 1871. I'm really interested in finding out about what the area was like and the 2 address I have are Residents of a house 57 in Brookfield Buildings (Blackrock No. 2, Dublin) Residents of a house 3 in Roebuck (Part of) (Dundrum, Dublin). My grandfather was a private in the Irish Rifles and won a bravery in the field medal allowing MM after his name but I can't find out what he did. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and thanks for the replies. My grandfather survived the war and was discharged in January 1918, service number 8695 he went on to marry Mary Anne Crimmins in 1919, born I believe in 1900 - parents Thomas Crimmins born 1877 and Margaret (nee Ryan) born 1880 and had either 11 or 12 children. My father also John was born in 1927. Although I know he was discharged due to wounds and shell shock I know little more.
