Ronan McGreevyIt has been more than a month since Irishman John Joseph Gill died in Birmingham but no family member has come forward to claim his remains.
Mr Gill died on November 25th, aged 86. His last known address was Whitehouse Common Road in Sutton Coldfield. Ten days after his death Birmingham City Council issued a public appeal for information, but it has been unsuccessful in tracing any family. Birmingham City Council say Mr Gill was born on August 31st, 1936 and is originally from Co Roscommon.
He was one of nine siblings and had four children of his own, say the council. Despite, presumably, having many living relatives, a public appeal in the UK and Ireland has received no response.
