The search for information about Claire's Irish relatives has continued to follow Timothy O'Leary.
I have a lot of stuff on Timothy and his brothers that joined the Army and served in various theatres in WW1.
I managed to make this picture from a PDF using a link on the Adobe website - https://www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/online/pdf-to-jpg.html
Once the Covid pandemic is over and we can travel again, we can go over and visit. I doubt anyone has been there for years, if ever.
