Hi Maureen
My Grandmother's Gt Grandparents
were from Mayo Ireland. They were called
Ann & John Gargan. Margaret was born in
Birmingham though. I have a hunch that
Edward Moores family would have come
originally from Ireland too.That will be
like looking for a needle in a haystack.
If you have any ideas I would appreciate
it.
