ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Maureen Report 29 Mar 2003 15:23

Eileen McCarthy is my Auntie and is 82 years old and was born in Cork, County Kerry in 1922. My Mother was Catherine McCarthy who was also born in Cork in around 1913 give or take 5 years. There is a sister Molly who is about 92 and living in New York. There are other brothers called Christopher, Paddy, William, Danny. Paddy and William are both deceased and Dennis another brother died when he was only 14. Danny lives on the south coast of England. My grandmothers name was Catherine or Kathleen Murphy before she married my maternal grandfather who was Patrick McCarthy a leatherworker and used to mend the ships belts in Queenstown where the family eventually moved to. My grandfather also made the shoes for the nuns in the local convent in Queenstown. My grandmother also had connections with Killarney, County Kerry and another relation was Con Murphy who was a farmer who played football. If anyone can help with this side of my family please leave a message on the message board. Many Thanks Maureen Paulin
