Searching for My grandmothers siblings. My grandmother Euphemia (nee MURRY) was born in Athy 1898 and married William Simpson NEILL in Athy in 1920. She died 24.11. 1961.
Euphemia had a brother John MURRY who was possibly older than Euphemia. John was a farmer in Athy. John had five children but was widowed early and died himself not long afterwards. The children (my fathers cousins) went to live with a relative in Myshall, County Carlow. The children's names were:
John or Jack - the eldest, joined the air force in 1938, shot down and killed over Norway.
David-joined the navy on the Ark Royal, but was transferred to a submarine shortly before the Ark Royal was sunk. Later lived in Canada, Montreal and then Toronto and/or Ottawa.
Dorothy-Married the Irish ambassador to Germany and lived in Germany. His name is William WARNOCK and he was ambassador from 1939 to 1944 and 1956 to 1962. Have been able to locate a little information and a couple of photos of William via google search.
Coral- no details
Oswald- born around 1930. Emigrated to England.
Euphemia-my grandmother- also had a sister Antoinette, who had about 12 children.
Antoinette possibly married a man named SUTTON who was owner of a drapers shop on Rathdrum, Ireland. There may have been another sister for Euphemia, whose married name was FITZPATRICK and who lived in Ottawa.
John, Euphmia, and Antoinette were Protestant and not Roman Catholic, as far as I know.
Is anyone familiar with this area, and able to help locate any living family or provide information about those who have passed away?
