Find Ancestors

Hello,
I'm trying to build my family tree and new this hobby.
My maternal family are from a small farm in Kilnavar, just outside Cavan.
My grandmother is Lila (ELiza Ann) Maguire and her father was William Henry, born around 1875. Her mother Sarah Morris was much younger than William Henry and originated from Co. Tyrone. Lila is still with us and passed on many family names and connections.
Lila had 8 siblings which I believe are now all deceased with the exception of Bertha.
Many of Lila's aunts and uncles on both sides of her family emigrated to America and seemed to have settled in New York. We don't have any contact with any of these descendants so if you recognise any of this information it would be great to hear from you.
Most of Lila's siblings settled in England so there must be some relatives out there...
Lila's children's names are; Tony (Albert), Jean (Mary), Billy (William), Frances, Henry, Stephen and Val. All still with us.
It would be great to hear from you if you can fill me in on any gaps in my Grandma's memory and update me on how the family is doing.
Family christian names seem to be; Sarah, Frances, Mary, William, David, James and Elizabeth.
I believe our Irish cousins are; Harrisons, Gaffneys and Jacksons
Thanks in advance,
Renee

I only joined GR at the beginninng of the year, and found the more you put on your tree the more contact and feed back you got from other members, the gaps soon start to fill in.

Hi,

I am descended to William Maguire from Kilnavar and his first wife Jane Morrow. I have been told that he remarried after having my great- grandmother, Mary Maguire, and her two sisters. I have a family tree on Ancestry.com that goes back to the 1700s, but have no pictures or connection to the Maguires because my grandfather did not grow up with his mother- It was great to find relatives. If you have any pictures of William, please send them if you are able.

Thank you,

Chris

Welcome to the boards, Chris.

First thing -
for your own sake, remove your email address from your post. This isn't a secure site, and you're laying yourself open to unwanted emails. It's also against the board rules - for that reason.
If anyone wants to contact you privately, they can do so by clicking on your name in green at the top of your post.
Otherwise they can add a reply here on this thread.

However -
you have replied to a ten-year-old thread, and Renee won't be looking for replies here now.

You can try sending her a private message as described above.
If she has kept GR updated with any changes to her email address since she joined, they will notify her that there's a message from you.

If you're lucky, she may be able and willing to reply to you.
