Re Kathleen/ Catherine...my gt aunt was known as Kathleen to all the family but is down on the census' ( and birth) as Catherine...so it's worth considering. |

Especially with an Irish accent. |

Not sure that the difference is very significant - might not be her obviously, but if you think how it sounds, it's hard to distinguish the two names, so I wouldn't dismiss it just on that basis. |

Shame she is down as catherine rather than Kathleen but will keep an open mind. |

Problem is, I am not the best person to advise you really. Will put out a plea for assistance! |

Just noticed she's down as Catherine. Maybe not so good after all. Getting over excited. |

Like I said - it feels right!! Will pursue this for sure. (Now I'm sounding Irish!) So far I've had 3 different spellings of her name. Father's birth cert says she was Brian. His brother's cert she's down as Bryan and now you've thrown this into the mix! Oh, what fun. |

Well worth looking into. Thanks Jan. Not a spelling I've come across so far. Will have a good look. This feels GOOD!!! |

That 1901 might be them you know - "Catherine" is a laundry washer, same as May in 1911. |

Have tried Kathleen (the mother) and May under Brian and O'Brian but nothing. |

Not sure where to head for Irish records. Could you point the way please? |

I thought the young Kathleen in the 1901 might be her sister. |

MAY BRIAN is the missing one. Can't find her birth, marriage to my Grandfather Gordon Simmonds (1917/18ish) siblings or Census records for 1901. |

Have you tried Irish 1901 just in case they are over there? |
