Im looking for descendents of my grandfathers brothers and sisters. My grandfather was Michael Heffernan born July 1909 in Cussan, baptziedWindgap, Kilkenny Ireland. All we knew about him was that he came from Kilkenny and ran away to join the circus. He said he had a sister who married a boxer and went to live in Twickenham. We recently found the names of 2 brothers and 4 sisters.

Have now found all the brothers and sister of my grandfather and there descendents.
But looking still for for Catherine daughter, Eliza Heffernan child. He was a male Heffernan born between 1942 and 1950, possibly Ireland, near Thomastown Kilkenny, Carrick on Suir Tipperary or could be Wales or nr Twickenham.
He was taken from his mother after birth as it was run by nuns so his birth may not even be registerd and possible adopted. His mother was also known as Lily.
All info welcomed.
