Thanks for coming back Vicky.

Is this May born in 1911 ?
Mother's maiden names don't show on index until 1912 which would explain why she didn't come up when you entered Flanagan.

Births Jun 1911

O'Donnell May - W.Derby 8b 346

Sadly This could be young Thomas born 1912

Deaths Jun 1914

I see you also have another thread running in the name of Flannigan.
You really should keep all info for same family on one thread.
Did you know all along that Violet's mother was a Flannigan ?

This looks like the birth for the Violet A above - so is this not your Grandmother's sister ?

there's no 1920 birth listed.
you should be able to find the family on FreeBMD as you also know grans name .if Violet married before she went to Canada it should be listed but maybe need to search another site other than FreeBMD

Before you post any more requests, please can I ask that you turn your capitals off (considered as shouting) and also a please or two wouldn't go amiss.
Thank you
