Perhaps he was illegitimate, as he was a Dr Barnados boy... He was born on 27th August 1892 at 102 Eastgate, Bury St Edmunds. His mother Catherine ( late of Williams ) was his father's second wife. We think Pett was her maiden name. HIs mother is Irish and worked for Guiness. Does anyone know of any O ' Connors living near the Guiness brewery in Dublin ? Sandy
