Trish Rennie Maye Dunn...is this the P.Wafer that lived on the hil passed the Barrytown Hotel heading North...think Damien n June Briggs lived there later???

Maye Dunn Yes Trish it is Paddy Wafer...and the J Wafer is his brother Jack.

Lyn Moe I found this in papers past looking up 10 mile for the book, same name as above, there was a girl that name from Blaketown went to tech when I was there.

Heather Newby yes..there was a family across the road from the blaketown shop.. just across the road from our house..opposite Murray Stratfords house.. here is Glennis

Maye Dunn I think there are Poschichs in the Barrytown cemetery.

Lyn Moe The girl I was at high school with was Dallas Poschich there was a John at Strongman.

Maye Dunn Moe probably same family as not a common name.

Robin Morresey My grandmothers maiden name was wafer, I wonder where in the family tree these two are.

Maye Dunn Robin these are your grandmothers brothers. Jack was 2 years younger and Paddy was the youngest in the family.

I believe John and Raymond Poschich are sons of my grandfather’s sister Anastatia Poschich (née Costello). Arthur Hill married Anastatia’s oldest daughter Catherine Anastatia. In my question presented today by Heather Newby it is Catherine and Arthur that I am seeking information about.
