Hi fairmaid. I am related to some of the descendants of Anne Maher & George Reeves, although I am not a descendent of Anne & George myself. i wonder if you are looking for the family in Australia ( where I live) or are you seeking possible family in Ireland? The family of cousins I refer to are also descended from Margaret Conway (1844- 1918) also born in Bourney.

Hi Darby,

I live in Qld. Australia, George and Anne Reeves are my great-grandparents.  I have traced the family of George Reeves and now would like to know of Anne's parents, Jane Dudley/James Maher, Bourney, Tipperary. I have no knowledge of Margaret Conway also of Bourney which would could be a possible lead for me.  Thank You.

Hi Fairmaid. Margaret Conway was my great grandmother. She is also the great grandmother of my Reeves cousins from Stanthorpe on their mother's side. Anne Maher was their great grandmother on their father's side. Margaret Conway is probably of no interest to you & your research. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up. If you would like me to put you in touch with 'my' Reeves, here is my email address:  darbish@tpg.com.au

Regards

Darby
