Carey - John F born Douglas, Cork

[tmp48]

John F Carey born Douglas, Cork he was born at his auntie's house by all accounts.
John F Carey died 2016 in Plymouth. 

I'm trying to help is widow Mary to trace his family for her. 

Jack as he was known as and his widow Mary were great friends of myself and my husband.
They had 2 children a daughter now married and a son who are both alive and well.  The 2 children live in different parts of England now.

So, any Carey's on here that had a brother or cousin know as Jack Carey that can help?

Does your friend have a year of birth?
Have you looked for a birth in the indexes?

From the info you have given, there is a John F Carey b 1946, Cork with mmn Lynch.
Your friend might have a father’s name from the marriage certificate, if not she should purchase it so you know you are on the right track.
There is a marriage to go with both those names and it is in the right area.
That is all supposition on my part though.

I'm waiting for Mary to come back to me with her marriage certificate details  so hopefully she can give me Jack's father's name. I've also asked if Jack had any brothers and sisters.  Just waiting for her to get back to me.

I've got all the details to trace Jack's family backwards now from Jack's widow.

If you have his father’s name, you can search for a marriage.
Then go back - check with census etc.
