Hi Cynthia, Thank you hun. Yep already a member of that facebook group. I did find a few things this morning. Found out Bryan might have had a sister called Mary she was born in Derrykinlough in 1877 and might a cousin called Mary born the same year. Also two uncles maybe. One called Bryan and one called Thomas. The uncles had some land and property in Derrykinlough.

All the best,

Katie
