Police Records from 1921
« on: Sunday 20 March 16 06:08 GMT (UK) »
Hello,  i found some information on my g.g.grandma whom lived in Cork Ireland and in 1921 was arrested for child neglect. Her name was Mary Ellen Mitchell and lived in Thomas Street, Cork, Ireland.
If anyone can help me in finding more info on her or her family would be wonderful and ever so grateful.
Cheers and thank you ever so much in advance...
Sharon

Are you looking for more information on her case or on her and her husband, marriage, births etc?

Prison record on FamilySearch gives husband as Peter

Possibly marriage, going by age, area

You'll have to give us more information because we are only guessing at the moment.

Her husband's name, her children's names.

The best thing to do is start with your grandparent and get their birth cert, than work back from there. Have you got a birth Cert for Mary Ellen's child, your grandparent?

The only place I can think of for more information on the neglect case is newspapers.
