Hello,

My Grand-uncle, Daniel D. Grace married Ellie Glynn in Glenamaddy in April 1917.  They were both national school-teachers in a neighbouring townland.  They had 4 sons (at least) : Patrick Joseph, b. 1918 in Glenamaddy - died 2010 Walkinstown; John David, b. Glenamaddy (around 1920), Thomas Raymond, b. 1921 Glenamaddy, married Catherine Beirne in Birmingham in 1951 and Daniel Gerald who owned a pharmacy in Achill until  1990.  Catherine Beirne's brother's name was Val.  I have found deaths of Thomas Raymond's brothers and parents but no sign of what became of Thomas Raymond himself or of his wife, Catherine.

I read in irishnewspaperarchives.ie of a court-case in Glenamaddy (car accident involving death of a man in Dec. 1955)- Thomas Raymond got a prison sentence in 1956 because of the accident.  At the time, he was a jeweller in Church Street, Glenamaddy.

Can anybody help, please?

Thanks,

Deirdre
