I found this book after my grandma died.

by Soupinmyfly

I was raised by my Grandma in my early years. She was Irish and we lived in Australia. She died of cancer when I was 7 (23 years ago). I know that we were catholic (having to go to mass before breakfast on a Sunday taught me that) and I know that we lived on the border of county Sligo and county Mayo. My connection with my Grandma makes me feel Irish. However, after grandma’s death my care pass primarily to my grandfather. He was British (ex british military, grandma was a nurse). He was catholic but I understood that he had converted when marrying Grandma. He certainly never talked of Ireland fondly nor of my Grandma or her family. He remarried a protestant and seemed to deconvert from Catholicism. He wrote a short book before he died on his lift but it sadly glossed over my grandma and her Irish family. I have many assumptions I have made about my family’s heritage and why we came to live in Adelaide after WW2 but with my grandma long gone I have little to verify my assumptions. The only item I have is this “book”. (cover back and one internal page) http://imgur.com/a/TcAHd#0 I’m looking for more historical information about my Irish family’s possible life and I’m hoping the book might shed light on the political leanings of my Grandma and her family.
