What was your paternal grandfathers first name? I assume the surname was Dillon.

I've looked for Agnes and George in the 1911 census in all counties with no success. Any possibility they were in England at that time?

I don't believe so Roger. They would have lived at 71 Flower Hill, Navan , Co.Meath as far as I know. Agnes Dillon died August 18, 1940 and my grandfather remarried Anne McGahon Sept.4th 1944. Her DOD is Dec.19th, 1985

I looked at the 1911 census all over in Navan and the surrounding townlands with no success. I looked at Flower Hill and there were only three households and the National school but no Dillons. I looked for anyone named Agnes or George in Navan hopefully looking for a transcription error but no luck.

I think Andrew John Mahoney was my Maternal Grandmother (ritas) Brother. 

Rita fennessy (nee mahoney) and edward are my grandparents. 

I am researching ritas side of the family tree and have stumbled across this.

I really hope you see this. 

Can't wait for your reply :):):):)

Does anyone know how I can contact this lady???

Every time a comment is made, an e-mail message goes to the original poster to the e-mail address they provided. Since it has been almost five years since Cheryl posted her massage, my guess is that she has changed her e-mail address and we have no way to contact her..
