My grandfathers brother called Patrick Mc Grath lived in trimdon grange and was married to a Nelly Mc Hale. She is down as a innkeeper.They moved to the U S A and i wondered was this Mc Hale related to the 3 brothers that were killed in the disaster. Patrick and Nellie moved to America in 1912 and he was 27 and she was 10 years older.Thank you for any help.PS my relative and name sake was killed in the maypole disaster of 1908.Any info on the compensation that was paid to the family.The widow had a large family and was evicted fro her home,she also spent time in a asylum in liverpool after the disaster. any info would be appreciated. John Mc Grath.
