Children of John O'Gorman & Jane O'Kelly
Information below from Helen O'Gorman, 2nd cousin of Paul. & now, 2022, from her brother,Michael/Breda
Your grandad, Maurice, known to us as Uncle Moss, and of whom I have very fond memories when we visited 123 Villa Park Gardens in Dublin, and my Grandad, David, were brothers. This makes us 2nd cousins. There was a 3rd brother John, known to us as Uncle Jack, who lived in Mount Merrion in Dublin.
Uncle Moss had 4 children: Jack, Ann, Jean and your Dad, Patrick David.
Uncle Jack had 3 children: Jeanne ( Died as infant - fell out of pram), Kevin and Margaret. Margaret passed away in July 2016
and Kevin is still living in Dublin.
My Grandad, David, had 3 sons:
Liam (died 1977) who married Nellie Hyland, 1953, and had 9 children
Sean, (my dad) died in May 2007, who married Mary Groarke and they had 8 children
David (known to us as Dá) died in 1984 in Houghton,via Preston. He married Brenda and had 2 children with her, and had a son in a previous
relationship (unusual for 1940's). This son, Eugene is only known to us for about 12 years.
When doing the family tree for the O'Gorman gathering, I only went back as far as John and Jane. I have always intended
going back further, but just didn't get around to it.
