LEAMY FAMILY

Thank you

could a respelling help : it has taken me 8 months to find "supposedly" missing relatives >  My first problem was that they simply vanished after leaving Mullingar ( Leavy's) or Clonmel Lawless ' . Upon arrival in London the amount of mispronounced  ultimately misspelt words caused no end of problems   in my searches .

Gilravey has become kilravey , Leavy has become Levy , leavey , levi  and various connotations sometwhere in between . 

At least Lawless is not too hard to mess up . Found some arrivals in Ellis island that had wrong birth dates recorded because my ancestors had little to no schooling , causing further problems . Plus , the other search company needs two subscriptions if i wish to further my search into the states or Canada . 

I had the US membership for a month ,,,I then discovered three of the same name and missmatched birth dates , so i became frustrated and gave up ....

i am going to restart the search during the partial lockdown as an exercise in patience ...so i wish you all the best in your search ( I will add your search to mine , , should i return to the other non UK sites ...)  noticing that my search for Leavy may cross into searches for yours as a misspelling i had not anticipated until i saw your post 

oops , nearly forgot my mums name was Mary anne Leavy , upon arrival in London she was known as Maureen .

Auntie Bridgett was known in london as Bridie ... you see the problem ...

Hello Kenneth
Yes you are right about the misspellings. My Mary Ann Leamy married, but as far as I know never had any children. They lived in Bermondsey, London. Thank you for your reply. Lynda

Hi Lynda,

I have a Michael Leamy Born 1841?? Sister Ellen and brother Thomas and Michael.  His grandad was also called Michael, do you think this could be your Michael, born in Littleton?
