Mystery of the O'Driscoll family
I have come across an O’Driscoll family, details as follows. Does anyone know of descendants of any of these mentioned. I can’t get to Cork myself as I am unable to travel and live in England. Any help would be appreciated, especially finding the parentage of William O’Driscoll born c1910 died 1979. He used to live at Spriggs Road, Cork. Does anyone know what relation he is to the people mentioned on his grave?
Thank you for any help with this.
Sue

Re: Mystery of the O'Driscoll family
Hello everyone, sorry I've not done much more on the family tree but am now staring it up again. If anyone has any information on the O'Driscolls please let me know. I've now got William O'Driscoll born 1909 (brother John born 1907). William was the son of Mary O'Driscoll who married a William O'Driscoll between 1907 and 1909. Mary was born around 1887 along with her 7 brothers, all children to John O'Driscoll and Hanora O'Leary. On the 1911 census for Cork I can only find John and Hanorah with 3 of their sons, William, Patrick and Jeremiah. I can't find the other brothers or in fact Mary. She should be there with her 2 sons. She died in 1916 of TB. Any help is appreciated please?***If you wish to email Mystery O'Driscoll, Subscribe and use the Private Message (PM) links
