Find Ancestors

Hi there

Apologies if I am missing some obvious things here I am an absolute beginner trying to find a picture of my great grandmother.

I know very little unfortunately. Her name was Emily Curran from county Cavan in Ireland. She had a baby girl called Emily (my grandmother) in a mother and baby home in Ireland circa 1928 and went to England after that. We know she is buried in New Barnet and she married a man in England with a second name Browne.

If anyone can point me on the right track I would appreciate it.

Many thanks
Janet
