Hi Thomas, great to hear back from you.I'm going to pass this on to my Uncle Patrick, my dad's older brother.He's in England and has also tried to trace the family tree so may have more info on Hugh.I'll get him on Facebook tonight and ask him to check out your messages on here.It was my dad's sister, Sally, who was killed in Pittsburgh.My dad has spoke about Sally and sees her ghost in my daughter (in a nice way!).You know the Irish, always seeing ghosts everywhere :-) Hopefully, Patrick or my dad may know something of Hugh, I'll let you know.I am actually interested in Catherine/Kathleen Whirrity, not sure why but completely fasinated by the family.I grew up knowing Paddy Whirrity as a scary-type figure who lived in a shack on my dad's land.My dad always brought him bread and maybe some bacon when we were going past.I never knew he was a relative but seems as though he could be Kathleen's nephew?I haven't gone far down this tree yet as there are so many spellings of the name but all the same, its intriguing.I've just started a family tree on Ancestry.com - not sure if you can see it but try - link is http://trees.ancestry.com.au/tree/33392495/family?cfpid=18449015441http://trees.ancestry.com.au/tree/33392495/family?cfpid=18449015441
Talk soon.Marion.
