Hi fran, Sorry about my inactivity (computer problems!) I see you have found some Limerick O'Flynns. All I know is that my grandmother Mary Bridget O'Flynn hailed from there. She was born c.1892. She was some years older than my grandfather John Ernest Barnes. I know she had siblings and that one of them was Michael O'Flynn. She was working as an actress in Dublin when she met her husband who was in the Irish Guards. I guess they probably married in about 1918 as their first born, Christopher came along in 1919. At this point they had settled in Limerick. They stayed in Limerick until about 1929/30 when the family migrated to England. The last address I have for the family is Pump Lane, Limerick. Hope this is of some use. James |
