Kooky - thanks for your email. My father was James Francis Tyrrell,born 28/7/1911 - who died sometime in 1946/7 (I think - I was only young so can't remember much). His father was James Thomas Tyrrell and his mother was Bridget Mary Tyrrell (nee Crawford). When he was born they lived at 2 Albert Street, South Manchester, registered in Chorlton on Medlock. I never met these grandparents, but did meet an aunt or uncle once who lived from London. I'd appreciate any info you have. Thanks. Anne.
PS - Just in case you get confused, I did have a brother, James, who very sadly died in 1989 - you may know of him.
