Hi Sean.

I am a great grand nephew of your ancestor Elizabeth Dowd (and a second cousin of Sheila who has also replied to you).

You may already have it I suspect but the baptismal record for John Joseph Tyrrell is available at http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/9337ea0117…

There is a link there to the original entry in PDF formh.

Hello.

Gilbert, born May 30 1881 was my great-grandfather

I have a fairly detailed family tree here

https://www.myheritage.com/family-trees/ayres/OYYV7QKUUF4DRVTNO7Z5A7F3SQRD5EA

Not sure if you can see that.

If not, please email me on kevayreski@gmail.com.

Frank, I have photos of a (very beautiful if you don't mind me saying) Dora Mary Patricia (Patty) Vaughan (1919-1988)

I assume you're related?
