Looking for 'Gannon' in Leeds and Ireland

Trying to get back in touch with late Father's family since his death in 2007. He was one of 12 children from Michael (d, 1975) and Veronica (d, 1986). They all lived in Leeds and some are now in Ireland. Father's name was Patrick Laurwence Gannon, born in 1948.
Thank You.
Damian.

I think this is the oldest sister's husband - puts her in Hebden Bridge in 2008:

Very few Gannons in the phone book in Leeds, but people move around, and many are, in any case, ex-directory

Seems bizarre, I know, but I think this could be 'Ruthy'
