Hi
Started my family history very recently, and have had some excellent help so far, from a newly discovered relative.
However, I would like to find out more about what so far seems to be the McGiverns in Ireland and McGleaves in England?
I have Michael McGivern (1863-1931, born Ireland), and Mary McGleave (1863-, born England), and his parents, Lawrence McGivern and Ann Morgan. I have no other information on Ann.
I think McGivern and McGleave had at least 3 children. The eldest were John J (born 1884/5) and Mary A (born 1885/6), and they were born in England. Perhaps Gateshead or Cockermouth, but unsure. They may have moved to Merseyside, if that information is correct.
My great grandfather was their younger son, also Michael (1893-1970), who married Elizabeth Ferris (1897-1969). I don't know anything about Elizabeth. My gran, Agnes (1931-2005), was their daughter.
If you can shed any light on any of these, please get in touch.
Thanks in advance.
Doug
