Patrick Treacy
Hi, my name is Maria and my father's name was Patrick. He was born in
Clonmel in 1923. He had sisters, Kitty (Davis), Aggie, Betty, Annie, brothers
Tommy Jimmy. Can’t remember the names of the rest. I do have details of dates
of births etc. of the Treacy family. Think grandmothers name was Eliza but she
was never known as that. We used to visit Annie in Cork. He had a very big
family. Auntie Kitty had one son who lives in Australia. If this sounds like
the same family let me know.
