Hello Enda
It's very interesting to hear about how things were and that the house I visited was
once a thatched cottage. How did they all live in such a small building.
I would be interested to know more about my grandfather, Austin, although he died long
ago. Would anyone have a picture of him, or indeed other members of the family? He came
to England when a young man, as did his brother Jimmy or James. I think another brother
came too. I presume some of the brothers/sisters also went to America. I do remember
meeting Great Aunt Peg (my grandfather's sister) in about 1961 when my family visited
Galway. I recall there being a shop or there once being a shop; that Peg was a
seamstress/ dressmaker, maybe. We stayed one night in Galway at a house further along
from where they lived.
I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Ann
