Searching for Waterford family members!

    Yes, I know this concerns Waterford county strictly speaking but some of the people I am seeking may have moved into the city!!!

    As you can see by my username I am a Derryman.
    However I have family roots in Waterford and I am keen to explore them.

    My ancestors are from Kilmacthomas but we lost contact with the Waterford branch of the family in the 1950's.
    As I live in the far corner of Ireland, I need help in locating them!

    My grandfather was Edward Grace who married Margaret Cullinane.
    They lived at different times in Dunhill, Fenor and Newtown.
    In the 1930's they had three daughters, Mary Alice, Catherine Bridget and Anne who would now be in their seventies.

    In 1959 Catherine Grace married Richard Brennan in Fenor, Tramore.
    In 1961 Anne Grace married John Joseph O'Leary in Fenor but they then moved to Dundrum, Dublin.

    Can anybody help me find out about these people or their relations?
    Any little snippet of information would be greatly appreciated.

    Do your parents or grandparents know anything about them?

    Are there any local historians I could consult with?

    Is there anywhere else I could go to for information?

    Looking forward in anticipation to your responses.

    I appreciate your concerns regarding his number but even if you passed on a printout of my post to him, it might help.

    If he knows anything, he could PM me and we could establish contact.

    Thanks for your help, Sully.
