Bridget Quinn

[squinth]

I’m trying to help a friend research her family. Very little is known about her mother. She was born in Ireland in 1925 and as we know Irish records are not easy to research. She  married Clifford Anderson in Pancras in 1948. Clifford  was born in Canada in 1925 . Bridget died in Nottingham in 1966 (??  having been murdered ) Clifford died in Canada in 2013.
Any help would be grateful .
Thank you

Not all of us think that "Irish records are not easy to research." There are actually lots of free records online. The problem here is that births less than 100 years old are not available to view online. There are several births for the name Bridget Quinn c1925 in Ireland so you'll need to be careful not to start tracing the wrong family.

Her 1948 marriage certificate should list the name and occupation of her father (unless illegitimate) and one of the witnesses might be a relative. Her 1966 death certificate will list cause of death- if her death was suspicious it might give the coroner as informant and mention inquest date. Accounts of her death might also appear in newspaper at the time.

Added- I did find snippets of one newspaper article.

Hi squinth,

It may be an idea to ask a Mod to move this thread to a more suitable location?

What info. does Bridget Quinn give about her father on her marriage cert?

Is it known where in Ireland she was born as it's a very common name without a location?

Middle name Mary according to newspaper (full name also on death certificate?).

Nottingham Evening Post, 17 Aug.1966: ... Clifford Hugh Anderson miner of Doncaster said he married Bridget Mary Quinn September 3 and she left him in 1951 ...

I am trying to help my friend research her family. Her mother was Bridget Quinn born in Ireland in 1925. She married a Canadian Clifford Anderson born 1925.  They married in 1948 . She died in 1966 in Nottingham? Under suspicious circumstances. He died in Canada in 2013.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Squinth

If you don't have the marriage cert then I am sure you know that this is the first step to find fathers' names and occupations.

According to the Irish Press report on her murder she was from Co. Cork, not necessarily correct of course.
