I am blown over with all this help, thank-you so very much. I am a researcher attached to a Family History Society, I often get asked to help my friends with their research when they get stuck. I started helping this chap at the beginning of the week so it is all very new to me.
He has sent me a copy of his parents marriage certificate, he knows all about his father's family but hardly anything about his mothers Flanagan branch. He tells me he thinks!!! she was born in Waterford on the 29th June 1913, hence my reason for contacting this forum
I have found a lot of conflicting information, at first I thought I had found her birth registration in the English BMD's, I followed this all the way through and was able to eliminate this Kathleen. I found another possible registration but again this was negative.
I have found the following -
