T. Driscoll, 1940 9 Batt., 3rd Brigade, France.

I am attempting to trace the branch of the family from which I claim descent. It is probably a subsidiary branch but that does not matter. I should still like to know.

At present the line can only be traced to my great-great-grandfather, John O'Driscoll, who lived in Cork CIty. His wife was French. He owned sloops, yawls and similar craft and was drowned in Cork Harbour. This was sometime during the early 1800's. One of his sons, also John, left Cork at the age of twelve and came to London where he sold things in the street from a tray hung around his neck. When old enough, he joined the Royal Navy and joined the Coastguard service on his retirement.

Wreck Recalled In 1843 he married Ann Morrison and had sixteen children of whom eleven survived. On December 28, 1845, he saved various membrs of the crew of the Dutch East-Indiaman "Three Cornelissen" when she was wrecked in Pevensey Bay in Sussex. For this he was awarded a medal by a Dutch society. Another of the family was in the Navy during the Crimean War. John died in 1886.

Five of his sons became pioneers in America. They settled in Texas, Oregaon, and the State of Washington.

The eldest, John, fought in the American Civil War of 1861-65 in the United States Navy. A younger brother, Herbert, born at Ardglass, Co. Down in 1865, was my grandfather. He married Margaret O'Bryne of Portrush in 1892. She was a MacCotter on her mother's side, and was born in 1870.

If anyone can tell me anything of my descent from the particulars above, I would be very grateful if they would get in touch with me.

Your's faithfully,
Patricia E. O'Driscoll
4 Queen's Leaze,
Taymount Rise, Forest Hill,
London, S.E. 23, December 24, 1950.
