John Davitt - Sheffield UK - Died 1949 - help please
I'm wondering if anyone can help me, although I have a feeling it's going to be a long shot.
I'm wanting to find my place in the Davitt family tree, but I have very scant information (long story, but all my grandfather's papers and posetions were disposed of after he died).
Basically, all the information I have is that my grandfather was called John Davitt (or Jack as it were) and that he lived in Sheffield (in the UK), was married to a woman named Alice and died in England in 1949.
We're not sure if he was born in Ireland or not or where he fits on the Davitt family tree. However, my grandmother did use to talk about a relative named Michael from Ireland who was a 'gun-runner', and there has been a tradition in the family to call children Michael (apart from me), so I'm pretty sure I'm related somewhere along the line.
I can imagine there being quite a few John Davitt's, so I understand if the search turns up a thousand possibilities, but any help you can give me would be gratefully appreciated.
