Hi Joe!

There was a James Gara married to a Mary Gillespie.They lived at Meenadreen and then moved to Braade Upper.They had a son called Patrick.Does anyone know James parents or if he had any siblings ?
there was an Edward and Patrick Gara at Braade Upper - not sure if James is descended from these men ?
Also there were Gillespies at Braade Upper, could these be Mary's family and thats why they settled there ?
There was a Catherine Gara at Meenadreen, could this be James mother ?
would love to hear from any descendants or anyone that can help
Joe O'Gara
