I am working on this
year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow. I will write each week in one of my two blogs, either Mam-ma’s
Southern Family or at My Trails Into
the Past. I’m looking forward to
writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
Ten:
the number of children that John Gleeson and Margaret Tierney had, all born in
Ontario, Canada. John and Margaret Gleeson are my second great-grandparents.
All ten children grew to adulthood and there is no evidence that a child of
theirs died in childhood. The first nine children were born about two years
apart. However the last son, Francis was born five years after his sister,
Margaret. It is possible there was a miscarriage or stillborn birth—just no
record of any baptism.
I
have no photos of the whole family together, but do have photos of the five
boys and the five girls. I can identify the youngest children but not the rest
for sure.
Their boys were: Martin
Gleeson, John James Gleeson, Michael Peter Gleeson, William Charles Gleeson,
and Francis Thomas Gleeson.
The girls were: Anna Marie
Gleeson (my great-grandmother), Mary Martha Gleeson, Elizabeth M Gleeson,
Helena Mary Gleeson, and Margaret Teresa Gleeson.
