hello reichs,
thanks for your input. All you say is correct but we did not know where Mary (marie ) was born or that her father (Robert- known as Bertie ) was possibly a busman. He died when marie was quite young ( about 1950 ).
All these little bits of info are invaluable when you have nothing to go on. Records are proving very hard to find, ie. birth of marie- death of robert. I know mary senior was burried in Ballyoan cemetery so pehaps robert was too.
I will keep on digging...............................bigjon
