Find Ancestors

Hi,

I am desperately trying to find any details about a baby born in Bangor Northern Ireland in 1941ish who would have been my auntie. We were told her name was Evonne/Yvonne Kesselring but have since been from the grave record that her name was Patricia Kesselring.

Her Mother was Alice Patricia Kesselring nee Birch and father was Guido Kesselring. We believe that they were married at the time of birth but have been unable to trace anything.

I have requested a copy of the birth from GRONI and they have said that there is no birth record.

I am desperate to find out any information as we are trying to arrange a headstone for them all, as my Nanny died in March.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate that the Northern Ireland records are somewhat restricted online but I am not even sure where I can look and I am unable to go to Belfast to look at the records.

Many Thanks,

Tracy Holmes

Thank you for all your help! I know that the baby was not Jan Henry!

Sorry only just re-read my post. The 6 year never got to the age of 6. She died months old in 1942 but I am unable to find a birth or death record. However, she is now burried in Bangor NI. But we do not know her details.
