Hi,
Am researcing my family tree. Am most interested in Thomas John McCormack of 7 Herbert Place , Inchicore, Dublin , Army Officer who married Ethel Packenham .

We know little of Ethel except that she and her husband had a child who was adopted which was odd in those days . Ethel left her husband, ran away to London in the 40's and disappeared sometime durin the Blitz.

HELLO,
Unfortunately I don't have an Ethel in my family tree nor have I come across the name Ethel anywhere in my own research.
I'm sorry I am unable to help you right now, however, if ever I do I will contact you to let you know. Good luck in your research.

Thank you very much for your reply - it's becoming a bit of a wild goose chase . I know that Ethel lived in a big house called Westmead outside Dublin . Ethel may not even be her real first name - there is a very odd story surrounding what was then an illegal adoption in Ireland and I may not be able to unravel it but thanks anyway .

My ggx5 was a Robert Pakenham, according to the family bible he was the brother of General Pakenham. He married Mary Richardson of Philadelphia. I have been unable to find any info on him in Pa.He supposedly died around 1835-1840. His wife ultimately ended up living with her children in Kentucky. I was able to find her in the 1850 cenus for Boone County Ky. Interested to see if we are talking about the same Robert.

Thanks!
