I AM RESEARCHING MY FAMILY AND THINK I HAVE FOUND A SKELETON
IN THE GAFFNEY CLOSET. APPARENTLY ONE OF MY FATHERS DISTANT
COUSINS WAS OFFICER IN AN IRISH REGIMENT SOMETIME AROUND THE LATE 1940'S OR EARLY 50'S. NOONE WOULD EVER TELL ME THE STORY BUT IT SEEMS THAT HE GOT INVOLVED IN A MUTINY OR THE LIKE AND WAS CHARGED WITH A CAPITAL CRIME. HIS NAME WAS GAFFNEY POSSIBLY JEREMY. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT WAS IN TIME OF EMERGENCY AND HE MAY WELL HAVE BEEN EXECUTED. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.
