Janes relations(??) The Reddys seem to come from Mulingar. Laurence migrated to NZ and Chri. to Australia. Chris married Alice
Feeney had 6 children Caterine, James Patrick T, Christopher John, Mary and Alice. (Patrick T was my Great Grandfather) My grandmother was Alice May
Geraghty, called May and Patrick was her father. Alice May married Ken
Rankin and had 3 girls, Margaret(Peggy) Judith (my Mum) and Darcie. I have a letter from Mary
Glynn(nee
Geraghty) to a Peter
Geraghty in NZ, they were cousins letting Peter know that William and (Matthew)Keiren
Reddy had died and talks about Castlelost as their ancestral home. Both Reddys died there. The property was divided up between first cousins.Laurence and Christopher are named as first cousins??? amongst twenty three first cousins according to the letter. I have a solicitors letter from Mullingar talking about Keirens estate. dated 31/10/1912. each got 46 pounds 5 shillings 4 pence. Christopher lived and is buried at Nimitybell NSW. They lived at Summer Hill name of property i assume. I have other info but I want to find James and
