Yes indeed. The unanswered questions are why was Alan raised by an aunt in Derry (his parents must have seperated) and if they died it was between 1925 and 1945. Only one piece of evidence exists and that is a photograph of alan age 6 (1927) and on the back it says 'to daddy'- so perhaps mum had passed.

Tony,

Do you know what Alan was told as a child or later about his parents which may help?

Are you able to narrow down a bit more as to where in Drogheda from this list which may help?...

When they married James was living in a boarding house in Capel Street, Dublin and Isabella in Palace Street, Drogheda town.

Alan never spoke about his parents at all.
