Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 998 Send Message	I am told (Family gossip) about a relative named Bodelia Mcgeever b. 1914 in Newport, Monmouthshire. Where was she in 1939 ? Family tales say that she looked after her elderly Father named Patrick. Also I have been told that a Gertrude Mcgeever lived with them. She was said to be the Wife of one of Patrick's Sons but I have not come across any info on this. There is a possibility she married Arthur. b.1900 Thanks from Nala,
