Hi-trish18,
                We have her birth cert also her wedding cert, it seemd strange we heard she was in birkenhead, because when the family came back from canada they lived down south. will have to take a trip to registry office and get cert for her .
Thanks Jim.

Hope you find out the story behind it.

Hi Jim

If Mary was in a nursing home in Birkenhead run by nuns then a possibility would be The Little Sisters of the Poor Home which was in Parkfield Avenue (between Claughton Road and Conway Street if you're looking at a map).A home for the elderly and infirm.

It was a big old house but was demolished some years ago. I do remember it as I went to visit my great great aunt who was being looked after there.
When I was young we were taken there from school at Christmas time to sing carols to the residents.
I remember how nice it was inside - kept beautifully and the residents were well cared for by the nuns. There was also a nice garden.

I can't think of another nursing home in Birkenhead run by nuns - maybe someone else can.

If Mary is buried in Birkenhead then the cemetery could be Landican or Flaybrick.
