So what I know about my Nan. I know she was the youngest of her siblings but unsure how many there were. In her later years my nan had dementia and I kick myself all the time for not finding out more. But my nan was very cagey and private and didn't discuss family, pasts, etc.
I think her fathers name was Michael Donovan and her mum was Julie/Julan with the surname O'Regan - however this information was acquired when she was in the later stages of dementia so it may all be wrong.
I think she had another brother called Con (Conrad, Cornelius, Connor maybe). She used to mention Mallow and Coal Quay a lot however I've since discovered that that's where Johnny Clifford's family was from so wondering if she got it mixed up with her dementia.
My nan always said her father was from a really well off family, but her mother's side wasn't as well off. She also used to say that her fathers family opened/owned cinema's in Ireland and apparently opened the first cinema/picture house there however I've never found anything on Google when searching this over the years.
I think my nan's parent died when she was quite young, Not sure how. - Rachel Clifford 12 Nov 2021
