grandma maiden name different
« on: Sunday 24 May 15 17:16 BST (UK) »
For some reason my deceased mother never had her birth registered. Her sister my aunt was born county home enniscorthy l got her birth certificate showing correct father, date, place of birth grandma 1st name, but the maiden name shows Kearns not Ward which is on her marriage certificate.
When l queried this anomaly with Wexford records office l was told that the informant at the county probably made a mistake. :'(
I have never found a birth for my grandma  Kathleen father Thomas she states she 26 when marrying in 1931. I'm guess she born 1905-1909.
No wonder folks end up in dead end alleys, it's never easy but very interesting. :)
