Looking for and family members, forward or back, of
Edward Gaffney b abt 1845
m
Mary b abt 1858
Children:
Charlotte b 1882
Mary Ann b 1884
Jane b 1886
Annie Rosaleen b 1888
James b 1891
William b 1893
Kathleen b 1896
Joseph b 1898
Found in 1901 census living in Tigroney West, Parish of Castlemacadam, Avoca, Co Wicklow. Apparently Edward's family lived in the area for c 200 years before, all working at the local copper mine where he was a foreman. We think from family knowledge that Edward and Mary both died between 1901 and 1911 as Annie Rosaleen moved to England just before the 1911 census to work, and is believed both of her parents had died before then. Out of the rest of the children, Jane and Joseph were the only ones to get married - Jane to a Mr Gogarty, and then moved to New Zealand, and Joseph to an unknown woman, possibly after he moved to England.
Any takers?
