From Anonymous: My now 24 year old son when he was 2 and was being a typical toddler antics acting up
So I put him on the naughty step
Couple of mins in I heard him scream mommmmmmm
Granny is at the top of the stairs looking very cross with me
I went out and thought it was just him messing out
But no he described her to a tee
Height hair etc etc
Well my mother died when I was 10
So my kids unfortunately never met her

Hi. My mother just found these pics of my GGM, Mary Heaphy. I posted about her and my Heaphy family connections in December. Her father was John Heaphy Jr., her mother was Eliza Cronin. She had four brothers. They all emigrated to Boston in 1880, and she married John J. Farrell in 1892. She was a remarkable woman. I'm sure I have Heaphy cousins in town.

By the way, I was just in Youghal in late March researching a book project. Had a great day out in the countryside with Kieran Groeger. What a lovely town.

Is there a way I can post this on the main page for the group? Thanks!
