Granville family, Listowel, Kerry
KerryListowel (Kerry)
Hi
i recently discovered my great grandfather and namesake is from Listowel, Kerry. His name was James Granville, born around 1878 and lived in house 18 (no street name) with his widowed mother Johanna, 3 brothers and a step brother at time of 1901 census.
Sometime later James emigrated to New Zealand where he married and had four children, the youngest of whom was my grandfather. James eventually split with his wife and put the youngest 2 children in an orphanage then died some time later. My grandfather would never speak of his father hence me only finding this out recently through research.
I’m visiting Listowel in April and would appreciate any advice on how to find more information about this family.
Many thanks in advance
Marc
