Hello,
Trying to resolve a family mystery about Brendan Brooks known to my Family as Lorcan (Irish for Lawrence).
He used to visit my Grandfather (Edward Gilligan Mullingar Westmeath), who was a first cousin of the Brook's, presumabley by marriage.
is sisters were: Eithne and Carmel
Mother: Kathleen and father: Frederick john Brooks.
Theya are on the Irish 1901 and 1911 census.
I am looking to understand the Brooks Gilligan connection. I presume this will be via Brendan's Mum Kathleen? But not sure?
Someone on here has a family tree with the Brooks family members on, but they have not responded to my request, so I am stuck. Any help greatluy appreciated!
Hoping to solve the Brooks mystery for my 78 year old Mum who remembers Brendan Brooks visiting and bringing them presents when she was a child, but cannot remember the family connection!
Any help gratefully appreciated. Thank Lilli
