John Leonard Kellystown Slane
« on: Wednesday 16 October 19 18:38 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information for John Leonard and Ellen Hughes. They married 1916 and their son Patrick was born 1918. Did they have a daughter Mary or Maureen Josephine Leonard and Kathleen T Leonard?
I would like to know how many children they had. Ellen Leonard died 1929 and John died 1960.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

John Leonard was widowed by then and may have been managing the children on his own.

I see John died 1960 but I can't find a death notice only an acknowledgement which doesn't give any idea of how many family he had.

I was hoping for that too. Ellen died 1929 I wonder if there was anything mentioned about that. John had one sister Mary Bridget Leonard and she married Thomas Morgan. There is very little information for John Leonard.

Apart for the two boys selling stuff in the small ads, (bicycles and motor bike) I can't see anything else in the newspapers.
