Hi, would some kind person be able to help find me an obituary for this person please? I'm helping a person find her family who she lost touch with after being placed in a convent in Ireland when she was 3 years old. If an obit is found, and mentions living family, please pm me it so to protect their privacy. Thank you.

The administration probably would not help much but it should give the name of the person who applied for it.  £1.50 from the probate office.
