Yes that’s correct Aabbott so Mary Jane Heuston (Huston) she was my great gran aunt her father was Robert Heuston, died abt. 1879.

Your grandfather lived not far from where I live now. I tried some time ago to see if anyone remembered him on a local Facebook page, unfortunately no replies.
I was unable to find any children for them but you have helped me out there, thank you.

I was in contact with a cousin of yours who lives in Ireland some time ago.
If I am able to send a private message Aabbott I will and hopefully will put you in contact with him.

Regards
Elizabeth
