Hi Anette
Thanks so much for the reply. As far as I know Alice McGuire(abt.1891) from Esker married Peter Maguire from Soran Co.Longford (abt. 1890) in 1916, maybe Esker...not sure. Their daughter Rosaleen Mary McGuire (abt. 1917) was raised in Soran by her father`s parents, Patrick & Marie(Sherin) Maguire. Rosaleen was my mother. She never really talked of the past. She said that she`d never seen either of her parents, the story is that her mother moved to the USA and married a Steve Halsley (I`m not sure on that)there is a passenger record of her going to I think Boston to her sister`s, a Mrs. Pat Doores but that`s where I draw a blank. I have found both sides of her family- Rossana & James McGuire in Esker and Patrick & Marie in soran in the 1901 and the 1911 census. My mother through the years told different stories of the past, in one story she did say that she was born in the states and her grandfather took her back to Ireland and that a false birth record was made, she at one time said that she wasn`t born in 1917 but a different year. All I know is that I think something went really wrong in those years and I would like to know what happened. What I`d really like to know is what has happened to Alice McGuire, my grandmother.
Thanks for any help you can give me
