Dear John
I came across your postings on genforum and so am taking this liberty of writing to you in the hope that you might be able to help me locate information about Sabina Forde. I understand that James Redington was your grandfather. I believe that our Sabina might have been your James's mother.
I am busy finishing off my family history research. I am going to write a book about our Ford(e) family so am busy at the moment with it. I have been trying to find out about my great grandfather,Patrick's, relatives. Patrick left Annaghdown for New Zealand in 1861. He was never to return to Ireland. I am trying to identify his sister,Sabina. I believe that she married a Phillip Reddington and that theywere the parents of a James Reddington ,who was mayor of Galway in 1960at the age of 88,an amazing achievement. I have written to William Henry, who wrote a history of the mayors of Galway, but have had no reply. I thought that he might be able to direct me to James's daughter, Bernadette Culliton, who might be able to clarify matters for me.All very confusing ! Do you know this Bernadette Culliton? I would love to contact her and would be very happy to supply her with details of her relatives who travelled to New Zealand.
I wonder if you could look in your phone book for me also to see if William Henry is listed in it. I would then phone him (or email) seeking his help. I am sorry to trouble you but I have exhausted every other avenue for finding out more about this connection.ANY help would be so helpful and so much appreciated by me !!
Hoping that you can help me.
Warmest best wishes
Kevin
