The daughter may have died in Leitrim 19th November, 2003. I'm trying to find more now.

Cheers, Holly

If someone died 2003 why not name her??

Because the search is somewhat sensitive. The woman who died in 2003 is the half sister of the person I am searching for, but never knew. Her father had an affair. We want information on him, but don't want to impact on the family or anything. Just simply looking for information to confirm his age etc so we can go backwards.

Cheers, Holly

The newspaper office is just down the road (if you can't her online!)
