A Rita O'Byrne writing to the Midland Tribune this week is trying to source information on her ancestors who lived in Shannonbridge in the early 19th Century. Her greatgrandmother was Mary Bracken married to Patrick Kilday / Gildea. They lived in Shannonbridge.They had two daughters. Margaret born in 1826 and Catherine born in 1838 and had one son Kieran. Her greatgrandfather was born in 1821.
Rita seeks any information on Mary, Patrick,Margaret, Catherine or their families.
On first enquiry my sister Pat thinks that Kildea lived in Reid's house now Cora Kellys.
The address is 57 Ottawa Avenue, Box 113, Southampton, Ontario, NOH 2LO. Canada.
