Magees, McKaigs of Eng. & Ire.1900's
This Message is for John Friel
I have just now found your posting I am sorry I have not gotten back w/ you until now. I have been back to the website Your Place and Mine several times, I did not think to look on Geneology.com.
In your follow up message you said you have a newspaper clipping of James and Patricia's wedding, but you said that Patricia's father was Jack Magee. I would think that her name would have been Gunning, Could it have possibly been Jack Gunning was her father, because Nellie (Magee) Gunning her Mother. Patricia had 2 brothers Jackie Gunning and Bobby Gunning.
There was also a cousin by the name of Jackie or Bobby. He visited Ireland at my Mom's Aunt Nellies home for a vacation one summer, around 1935.
One story my Mom heard was that James sent Patsy's engagement ring to her in the heel of a pair of high heel shoes, from the United States. He had moved to the USA and was working at the Stork Club in New York, but returned to Ireland for the wedding, and brought Patsy back to the United States.
My Mom her sister Molly and their Mother Annie Mae Magee was at Patricia's and James Friels wedding.
Do you know if Artie Magee had any children or other family members in or around the New York area.
I live in Seaford, Delaware

I would like to talk to you either through e-mail or on the Phone. I have a ew e-mail address. I will e-mail you soon.
Thank you for getting in contact with me. You have been the first really concrete lead I have had in finding any of my moms family.
