Dear Kathleen,

I haven't actually looked at my family history for quite a while having pretty much arrived at a dead end, and as always with these things life gets in the way and diverts you to other things. I have no living relatives that I know of that I can ask and unfortunately my mother and father never really spoke about their life in Ireland. I was only about three years old when we left so I have no memory of life there..My father died in England in 1972 when he was 63 so I'm not sure if that would be classed as young. I was baptised Mary Brigid (alternative spelling to Bridget I believe). I'm not sure this is of much help to you but if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them. Best Wishes Mary

Dear Mary,

Thank you for responding. Gathering ancestry information can be trying and the Corcoran side is certainly challenging. I am reaching out to a cousin that may have knowledge of more oral history. Your reply was helpful though and I would very much like to continue our conversation, if possible. This has jogged my mother's memory and she has shared bits of information that she has remembered, whether it will be helpful to determine if we are related I'm not sure. Could we communicate via email, or through Facebook, so as to share a bit more information/family history? If so, I can be reached at kpmalloy97@gmail.com

Kind regards, Kathleen

Dear Kathleen, I have sent an email.  Best wishes Mary
