Robert, I'm surprised that you say you THINK you will TRY to get a copy of the marriage certificate. I think it's absolutely essential that you do, unless, of course, a relative has her birth certificate. If you can get her father's name we could find them on a census. |

Having spoken with a relative last night, she remembers Catherin Flannigan having a Yorkshire accent, so I will be going with her being born in Leeds. I also learned that she was buried at Killingbeck cemetry, which could be helpful. My aunt is going to ring round some other family members who may/may not have a birth certificate, who should be getting in touch. In the meantime, I think I will try and get a copy of the marriage certificate. Thanks for all your suggestions so far!! :-D :-D :-D |

Robert, the marriage certificate should be your first step as information from family can, unintentionally, be unreliable. For example when I was a child I believed my maternal grandmother to have been born in Ireland. In fact she was born in Scotland of Irish parents (who had met and married in Scotland). She had lived in Ireland for about 10 years with her parents but had returned to Scotland after they died. |

Possibly she was born in Leeds? |

There are 7 Halliday births with mother's maiden name Flanagan born Leeds between 1919-1928 on FreeBMD. It looks like 2 of them are twins. Are they yours? |

Robert, do you have her marriage certificate which should have her father's name on (if she knew him)? |

She married in Leeds in 1914, that I know, and I know she was born 11/4/1895, and died 29/04/1985 in Leeds. I have been told she came from Ireland, but my recent visit to Ireland raised more questions than answers. I will be speaking to a relative soon, whom, if I ask the correct questions, might give me the correct answers. :-S |

I'm trying to find the family of my great grandmother Catherine Flannigan, and am having little joy. I have tried asking family members who knew her better, and they seem to remember her having a sister called Annie(could be Anne/Ann) and another sister called Mary, and maybe even a brother called Dominic. Catherine Flannigan's married name was Halliday, I know she was born in 1895, and died 1985. |
