Hi Patsy,

Good to hear from you again and glad to see you've found us on IrelandXO. I don't think we've got any further info than has already been posted on the Annaghdown Genealogy Forum on Facebook - hopefully others interested in this family will see this thread and contribute further information.

All the best,
Paul Greaney.
