PM sent to Hayley suggesting she starts a thread of her own. She's been adding to a number of old O'Leary threads.

Hayley, it would be better if you sent a personal message to Patricia by clicking on her name. It’s almost 10 years since she posted & that was only the once.

As long as she is still using the same linked email address, and can access it, she’ll be able to reply to you off board.

Hi I don't know if we have a connection or not ! but I'm stuck on the o'learys as my Nan was one but was very secretive about them (no idea why)
She was Rosetta o'leary born London 1921 her father was a Daniel Lawrence o'leary 1891 and mother Suannah Heffill 1896c
My Nan Rosetta had (what I have found ) a brother and 2 sisters
Frank 1916c Ellen 1920c and Doris 1922c
Now going back to Daniels father I have a Daniel o'leary 1856c
That is roughly all I have as far as I'm aware they are from London but not sure when they came to London from Ireland
The only other info I have is my Nan said there was a lot of brothers in the olearys but I'm yet to find any more of them ! Or if that was even true !
Does this help you at all ?
Or can you help me ?

I'm trying to find relatives of my father, Peter O'Leary who was born I believe in Bantry. I know he had a brother called Desmond and sisters called Patsy (after whom I am named), Kitty, who became a nun and I think Maureen. I think he also had other brothers and sisters. He came to England and joined the RAF and married my mother, Ivy. I know I have a cousin who is a priest but I've never met any of my Irish family and would love to contact them. If this strikes a chord with anyone I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
