A shot in the dark<p>My grandmother's youngest sister May Prior from Ballinamore, Leitrim- married a Charlie O'Rourke, I assume from the same area. They had at least one child, Raymond. The last I knew they were still in Ireland, though there is question that May and Charlie may have passed away. The last contact I'm aware of was at the time of my grandmother's death in 1987. Raymond may be in Boston. If you can make connections to Charles O'Rourke and May (Prior) O'Rourke- please pass on the info.
