Margaret Flynn or Flinn
« on: Monday 27 November 23 07:20 GMT (UK) »
I have attached the birth certificate of my grandfather William Laing. On it you will see his mother's name Margaret Flinn born in County Clare. I'm hoping someone might be able to decipher the town.
As an aside on other documents her birthplace is given as Limerick (no town) and her name is spelt Flynn.
As she was obviously alive when the birth cert was written I'm assuming it might be the more accurate but as you will see by the handwriting the details were presumably written by the registrar.
Any advice or assistance will be very welcome
