Ffrench family History
« on: Monday 05 December 22 13:17 GMT (UK) »
Looking to chat with descendants of my Ffrench family history or DNA Ffrench connections:
Robert N Ffrench 1867-1919
Georgina M Browne Ffrench 1880-1907
Children
Robert Neol Ffrench 1904-1947
Francis Alan Ffrench 1905-1943
Doreen M C Ffrench.
Family history should never be so complicated, wish I'd listened more when I was a child!

This might be a marriage for Doreen to Eugene DOYLE in 1930.

I can't see a birth registration for her, but I can see a baptism on 26 April 1907.

Debra  :)

Thank you so much for your replies. After years of researching the family of Edward Allen Penrose French I've recently discovered that althoiugh related it's not the correct family. Francis Alan Ffrench is definitely the son of  Robert and Georgina from REosscommon and I can only presume that he was staying somewhere else during the census. He left Ireland for the US approx 1930, settled and had family that I'm now in contact with.

Looking at published trees re Francis Alan/Allen, the owners have him with parents Robert and Georgina. Two trees show emigration records to Singapore but none have a birth record which shows his parents.

It looks as though Allen Godfrey and Francis Allen have been mixed up unless he emigrated later.
