Gildea Family- William Gildea and Catherine Turbert
The Gildea Family from Drumshanbro
I'm seeking information on my mother's mother's family, the Gildea family of Drumshanbro. We already have quite a bit, but i've been told there are no living relations in Ireland, but maybe there are birth and dates of death or places, where family lived. Maybe someone will read this and know they are related to my family. Any contact would be great.
My great-grandfather was Peter Gildea, born June 22 or 27th 1867 and emigrated to the U.S. in 1888, where he met his wife Mary Ellen Kean, of Carrick on Shannon, marrying on 2/3/1904. They had 5 children all born in the U.S, William, Catherine, who died at the age of 3, Anne, who married Frank Maguire, who was an orphan born in Galway Bay, Ireland 3/21/1903 ( we don't know who his parents were), Rose Veronica, who is my grandmother and John GIldea, who compiled most of this information and traveled to Ireland with his wife, Mary O'Day. Sadly the last of the Gildea name, died 2 years ago with my mother's Uncle John.
