Hi Kieran,

Your most welcome Kieran. Wish we could unravel a few more of the mysteries for you.  So do you suspect Mary Farren 1874 ish and Ellen are other children of Robert and Margaret ?

A smile - is a frown turned upside down. 
A smile - is painted on the face of a clown.
A smile - brightens a dreary day.
A smile - chases tears away.
A smile - is a gift that shows you care.
A smile - is priceless no matter where.
A smile - is the key to happiness.
A smile - a sure sign of success.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help.  Roman wasn't build in a day and neither is a family tree.  I am not sure how Mary and Ellen fit in yet but hopefully it will all become clear yet.

Thanks as always you are really helpful.
