Hello Adam,
My name is Katherine and I think I can help you. I am 27 years old. My father is called Stephen Magee also. He is from Dublin, Ireland and I think he comes from the same address you mention. He left me and my mother in 1980 just after I was born. We were told some time later that he had emigrated to Australia. I know nothing of his whearabouts afterwards nor am I under any need to look for him (simply googled his name for the craic and because I was bored and your message popped up)but I do have the town he lives in Edwardstown Australia. I do not have an exact address but I do believe I can get it if you like.
I am also aware that this might just be purely coincidental as I was told his parents house was in Edenmore not Raheny and his parents reputation proceeds them - not the most approacable of people.
I hope this helps and if you would like to email me my address is
[email protected]. No other loons need reply solely for Adam's purposes.
If I do not hear from you may I take this opportunity to wish you the best of luck. I think you are a brave man to do this and it's great your mother is behind you. I wish you all the luck in the world and every happiness in the future.
Yours,
Katherine x
