Hello Hazel, we could have a look if you give us some more info - like when he was born for a start.

Also, this thread has some tips about Irish research:

I'd also suggest you click "edit" on your post and amend the title to reflect you want help with Irish research.

Hi thanks for getting back to me Jack was born in a PrioBuroop (thnk thats right spelling) Raheny. Dublin in 1924 he came to England around 1952 may be a year or two out his father I think was Patrick don't know about his mother, he had I think 7 brothers and sisters I know 1 sister was called Biddy (Bridget I think ) and he had a brother Jem( James I think) he worked with race horses over here I think he did the same in Irland, I know about his English life but not his origens so it would be grate if you could help. Thanks Hazel
