Hi Kathy,
My maternal great grandmother was a Bridget
Galvin, who married Patrick Sullivan.
They came to live in Kileen, Castlecove, where the family still has a farm (now leased
out by elderly cousins Jim and Jer who used
to work it. (*They may even live in Cather
Daniel)What I don't know is were they always
from Castlecove (my great grandparents)or
did they move there after marrying.They
had several children, among them my grandmother Abbie, another daughter, Bridget,
Patrick, James and Eileen, to name some off the top of my head.I am 62 years old and
grandmother (Abbie)was born in 1879-1880. I
believe Bridget and Patrick were married in
the late 1860's, early 1870's.I have a Galvin cousin here in Connecticut who is in her 70's, the daughter of Eileen Galvin above. She has a sister Ellen in Cahrcieveen,
and another in London, plus the two brothers
who live in Catherdaniel.Let me know what
you make of this.
And thanks for answering.
Dennis
