John Smithwick - born 1830 - my Great grandfather

Catherine Bradshaw - John's second wife - my great grandmother

 

 

Mary Connell - John's mother

Michael Smithwick - John's father

 

John Bradshaw - Catherine's father

Margaret Grady - Catherine's Mother

 

I visited this parish back in the late 1980's for the purpose of finding my grandmother's place of birth and spent hours in the cemetery lookfing for my ancestors graves and found them!!

My cousin had visited before and had shown me pics of the house where my grandmother was born.  It is a large white house on a hill. Most all of my  ancestors are from Ireland, but the Smithwick/ Bradshaw family is the one side of the family where I have most of the information.

 

Does anyone there recall the family names?

 

I was very grateful that the parish priest and secertary were kind enough to send me notarized copies of birth and marriage certificates after my visit there.
