my father was a bernard gavin he came from a large family from westport, i was told my grandad was called mallen gavin, is there another name that mallen would come from as there is no record of a mallen gavin, he married twice and between the two wives susan and margaret, he had my dad bernard born 22 december in the 30's now deceased and among his brothers he had a johnny, christy, jimmy all deceased, mikey, billy and frank his sisters included susie, rosie, josie, bernadette and alice.
at some stage they moved to mullengar co westmeath and lived in 17 st finians terrace now demolished but it was next to the army barracks,
iv only been able to get back as far as my dad (i didnt know them, i was adopted at birth) my father then moved his family to manchester england, he also had a son mallen but i just cant seem to find that name i wonder if its short for something else.
if you can help me with any of this it would be great, as not knowing details and most of them deseaced its very hard thanx
