Looking for any information on john and anne (nee o'leary) they married in tipperary in 13/2/1916 while john was a private in the 2nd battalion of the connaught rangers and stationed at the barracks at kinsale.johns father was also john o'grady a labourer and annes father was michael o'leary a farmer.i do not have any information on where or when exactly they were from.they lived in henry st tipperary and had kathleen p o'grady in 17/3/1917.michael o'grady in 31/7/1918, their father john was listed as an army pensioner on by this time and john o'grady in 1920.by 1921 they were living in kilkenny.their 4th child bridget o'grady was born 2/11/1921.their address at the time was pennyfeather lane, kilkenny, john was listed as a labourer.they had another girl sometime between 1922-1928, her name was mary o'grady, also known as maureen.their mother anne o'leary died on 31/1/1929. Within the next 12 months the children and their father were found wandering the sts of kilkenny, homeless.they were then split up, the boys to the ferryhouse in cork (recently happily reunited with their decendants) and the girls may have gone to dublin to stay with a maternal aunt called bridget stokes (nee o'leary).I would like to know what became of john o'grady who never saw his 5 children again.also any information on anne o'leary.its taken me years to get all that information and am hoping it will help with the next chapter of this stpry.thanks alot for your time, louise
