I am a granddaughter of a Joseph Gartland born in Birkenhead,Merseyside,UK. He was born in 1911 to George and Mary Gartland. My grandfather had uncles called Thomas and Frank, the latter leaving for Australia.He also had a sister called (yeah,you guessed it)Mary,they were the only two to survive out the 13 children George and Mary had. My grandfather had memories of visiting Ireland with his father as a boy to stay with a couple whom he recalled as living together but not married(?). He also mentioned Blackrock. I would be really grateful if anybody out there could come up with some information. Thanks, Paula
