	Can anyone help? I am tring to find the parents or any relatives of Patrick Joyce born c1845 in Galway. He was married to Maria Dempsey and they had sons Michael Joe, William, Peter, James and a daughter Delia. There were probably more children. I don't what part of Galway they came from. Maria came to England (Barrow in Furnace) in the late 1890's with Peter and James (1901) Census. I have found Maria and William's death certificates in Scotland, but have hit walls with all others. Appreciate any help.

His father was called Patrick Joyce. I think he married a woman called Catherine Judge but not sure if this is correct. i have not managed to track Michael's arrival to the UK but he ended up in Middlesbrough. I don't know if this is of any help. i suppose I might well be in the same position as you however, i note that you posted this in 2005 so you might have had some success since. I am aware that Patrick and Michael Joyce were pretty popular names in Ireland so it might resemble looking for a needle in a haystack! Caroline
