Hi. I am looking for information on the Families above My Great Grandfather James Riordan died in december 1959 and is buried in Church town cemetry - His wife Kathleen was Nee farrell & My Great grandfathers mothers name was coleman .
The coleman side of the family as far as I know originated from Cork, The Farrells (some went to England) I know of a Grand Uncle buried in Rathkeale- would appreciate info going back from My Great Grand Parents.
Many thanks
