Hi brummiejan

I have done so much on this site i am a little over tired lol so the dates could be out but they were taken from an early census.
Lynn

Oh dear i have put some wrong dates on these, will edit it now. thank for spotting that.
Lynn

Where did you get this info from Lynn? Note the birth years are a bit widespread - 1945??
Jan

help needed please.

I have an update re peter J Leddy c1885, the father of William George Leddy c1911. Peter j leddy lived in Scotland in his youth but there is a thought that he was born in Ireland, his occupation was working on the railways. Can anyone help me find out how i check the irish link please. If any one could look on the 1911 census for him and his family i would be very grateful Peter J Leddy c1885 married to Rachel Elizabeth Brown, children:. Elizabeth 1909, Dorothy 1923, Florence no date of birth, William George 1907, Cissie F 1921, Alice 1913 and Bessie 1926. I am looking for Peter and Rachels parents, Many thanks in anticipation:))

Lynn

thank you for your help. i will do as you recommend, i am sure that this will be the best way forward.
Lynn

To be honest, I would go back to what you have for certain, which I assume is his marriage. Get the marriage cert. for Blodwyn and find out his father's details. Only then can you move forwards as otherwise it's just hearsay.
Jan

the name of Williams parents Peter and Sissy has been passed to me via my mother who was leddy

How do you know William's parents' names?

Sissy could well be a pet name maybe her name was Elizabeth .

I have no information for Peter only that he was married to a sissy brown and they had 7 or 8 children.

Do you have an occupation for Peter?

I wonder if Sissy is just a pet name?
