wow, thank you so much everyone for your imput.
Yes, exactly the Frances Percival you have noted.
There was someone on the previous thread who had gone to visit some aunts there, and mentioned an uncle victor - but i can see from records that he sadly died, just this summer. I hadn't thought much about the lack of male descendants in the line. thanks again

I see from Victor's death notice he went to St.Mary's Mohill, there are images of that cemetery on IGP but there are no Percivals, it may be that the collection is not complete or he is the first of the family to use it.

Yes I photographed Drumshambo.... but Mohill is incomplete!

Others visiting there might take some to contribute!

John Shaw and Elizabeth Brown had 4 children by 1916
One son William
3 girls Margaret, Annie and Frances
It looks like Margaret and Annie survived as they are not on the parent's headstone and it's possible there are other sons and daughters.
Is it know who Victor's parent were?

I wonder if these have a Tombstone.   ;D


Matthew Tomb. He was born in Ireland (possibly county Antrim) on 8-30-1885. He married Elizabeth Percival, who was born 7-19-1893 in Currawn, Mohill, Ireland.
They had 4 children, Elizabeth, Matthew, John Andrew and Robert William
