Hi, trying to track down ANY info on our branch of the CAHILLs. All we know is that they
originated from Dublin, father, James Cahill was a 'master window cleaner'-mother
unknown.
They left Dublin for Manchester in the 1930's; there was Dad (mum had died) and 7
children, 3 Boys and 4 girls. Their names were[are] Bill[William],Mary,Kay,Ann,James,Eva
and Tony[Antony]. Bill was a boxer and Tony ran a pub.Eva died young as a result of a
hereditary heart condition called [Wolfe] Parkinson Wright and many cousins died young (in
their teens) of this condition too .
Sorry I can't add more.
There is a tale though that a large part of the 'Cahill' clan died in Ireland as a
result of eating dodgy mussells! Maybe that's why they left- who knows???
would love to hear from anybody who may be able to help knock down this brick wall....
