My father was born 1900 his name was Patrick Geelan,he was born to Catherine Geelan in Castletowndelvin workhouse Co.Westmeath.She was unmarried,her parents were Patrick Geelan and Mary Mulligan who were married in 1870 in Kilbride CO. Cavan they went on to live in Ross CO.Meath and had seven children including Catherine.There is no mention of the family in the 1900 or 1911 census I wonder did they emigrate? My father(now deceased) spoke little about his family it seems his mother died when he was young I think he was begrudgingly brought up by relatives,he emigrated to London in the 1920's.Has anyone out there got any information about what happened to Patricks and Marys other children or indeed to Catherine Geelan
