Hello Katherine, just been catching up on this site and noticed your topic. You said your grandparents were McGuire family. As Alan would say, memories again. We both knew Michael, I spent some occasions with Michael in sixties and happy to say he was instrumental in me meeting my wife in 65. We were married in 68. He was a good lad Michael and never forgotten him to this day. Hope you get some answers to your subject. P.S. I lived in Beatty Road until I went into army. Good community spirit back then. Regards
