Mrs Teresa Kilby

Hello, I am trying to find inofrmation about John James Towey  1858 0r 1862 who was born in Ballaghaderreen CO Roscommn,now County Mayo.He moved to Birmingham and married Mary Ann Parsons who was also of Irish origin. His father was Hugh Towey and his mother Bridget.I

I am trying to find out more information about him and his family in Ireland and any relatives f his now living.. I am also trying to find out about his daughter Mary Elizabeth Towey  born in 1897 in Birmingham and  who died in 1970.. She was a single mother with a child born 1916. I have reason to believe that her partner and father of her child may have been Irish perhaps  a lodger or visitor from Ireland ? There seems to have been a big Irish community where they lived at 12  LawrenceStreet  Terrace A ,Birmingham.

Her daughter also called Mary Elizabeth Towey jnr born 1939-1977 in Birmingham.She  was also a single mother.She had a son born in 1939 called John..Again I think that her partner may have been Irish.

I am trying to find trace any possible information about both of the partners of both Mary Elizabeth Towey. snr and Mary Elizabeth jnr

My daughter  (daughter of John born 1939 to Mary Elizabeth Toweyjnr) recently did a DNA test on Ancestry and has come up with the follwing close DNA matches from her Dad's side of the family .They are cousins of hers.
