Looking for McGowan family from Ballymote, County Sligo, Ireland
I'm grasping at straws in writing.I am grandmother to two young men from a broken home.They have been unable to learn anything about their family heritage because of friction in the families.One is 21 and the other is 19.Since I have had success in locating my family lines, they have been pleading with me to try to learn about the area where they came from and their family lines.This leads me to this request.
I have learned that their great-grandfather was John McGowan, born 1884, married Mary Ellen Kilty, born 1890.They married and lived in Ballymote, County Sligo, Ireland.They had five children: Mary K., Anna J., Briget, James, and Helen.
They emigrated to Manchester, England in 1924, then to America in 1925.
This means so much to these boys.If you know the family, PLEASE reply.
Thank you,
Virginia Knipper
