My great grandfather, born in Ireland C1819, married Catherine??? C1852. He lived most of his life in Woolich near London UK. Any information about John & Catherine appreciated but most especially her maiden name. John died at Woolich in 1876 & Catherine, also at Woolich, in 1913. Many thanks to anyone who helps.

To all of you who have been so very helpful in answering my questions - if you are still watching after ALL THIS TIME, you have my most humble & profuse apologies for not replying immediately you posted.

After that time I had had a period of hospitalisation & operations & did rather loose my way in respect of computer work. Then we shifted from the North Island to the South! But deeply hap[py here & back into the searching for various links to our families' past.

The kindness of you folk on this message board never cease to amaze & delight us with your kindnesses. Thank you.
