Find Ancestors

Hi
There is a public tree on ancestry belonging to a distant cousin who I have lost touch with and I was hoping someone could take a look as I don't have ancestry membership.
They have included a brother to my father that I didn't know about.
I have searched freebmd for him but cannot find him there.
His name and parents names are as follows and he is on Mannion family tree.

James Logan born 1915 father John Logan. mother Mary Catherine Maguire

Thanks so much to anyone who can help

Pam

Have you looked at the GRO Index??

I can not see a James Logan on there .............

OGAN, JOSEPH mm MAGUIRE
GRO Reference: 1908 S Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 69

LOGAN, PETER mmn MAGUIRE
GRO Reference: 1910 J Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 99

LOGAN, FRANCIS mmn MAGUIRE
GRO Reference: 1912 D Quarter in BLACKBURN Volume 08E Page 508

LOGAN, MICHAEL mmn MAGUIRE
GRO Reference: 1916 M Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 85

I looked down the list of tree members with my dads name on them and I saw James logan birth 1915 father John logan mother Mary Catherine Maguire in the Mannion tree
The list came up after I had typed my dads name date and place of birth and his parents names.
I took a photo to make sure I was seeing right because this James had never been mentioned though dad had an elusive supposed brother name Frank
I can't ask him anything as he passed away in he 90s and the rest of my family are all deceased.
I never knew any of his relatives growing up and was only in touch with my cousin for a short time before losing contact.
Im wondering if it has been taken it off since I viewed it?

This is the James on that tree - he is the twin of John B Logan but mmn is Critchlow??

the names listed are:
Catherine 1904
Harry 1908
Evelyn Ann 1910 (5th January) ?
Peter 1910 (3rd May) ?
Francis (Frank?) 1912
James 1915
Michael 1916
Mary Frances 1918
John 1920

Thank you so much Dea

I don't understand the names he has included as my dad had sister Mary Frances and brother Michael for sure
The Frank was born in Blackburn to different first name parents than my dads and I definitely don't understand how Evelyn could be dads sister!

Now I'm more confused than ever lol

I can't see why the tree says that John was married to a 'Maguire' when there is no proof cited for this and all the details on there show his wife and the mother of all his children was a spinster called Catherine Critchlow at the marriage ??

The spelling of the name might have led to confusion ? for instance

Births Jun 1917 (>99%)
Logan James McGuire Sunderland 10a 1027 99%)

Logan James Maguire Sunderland 10a 885
Maguire Mary E Logan Sunderland 10a 885



Births Sep 1920 (>99%)
Logan John McGuire Liverpool 8b 82

Births Jun 1918 (>99%)
Logan Mary F Maquire Liverpool 8b 79

With Ancestry trees, many are just works in progress, and not everyone checks the facts before adding people.

Do your tree as you research it. Don't rely on somebody else.
The only way you can be really sure is to buy the birth certificates

It's so strange...the tree was compiled by my cousins husband, I never really had proper contact with her..
I gave him all the relatives I had discovered.

The John born 1920 was actually my dads nephew not brother.

My grandparents were married in 1901 Liverpool and I have all the family traced back to Ireland before they came here in the 1820s except for an elusive one that was either named or nicknamed frank...no one has ever discovered him and I was hoping somehow James might have been him..

Aw thank you so much for looking for me, I think I'll just discard James as it seems he belongs to another Family.

Kind regards

There is obviously an error there somewhere because it says
Evelyn Ann born 5 January 1910
Peter born 3 May 1910

Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Logan Michael Maguire Liverpool 8b 85

Nyx im so sorry I missed your post

I had never seen much of that tree as I'm not a member on ancestry...it could possibly be an old one before I had contact with them.

It was just such a surprise to see another sibling of my dads may have been uncovered

Thanks for taking time to look though I appreciate it

Kind regards

Pam

Like many trees on Ancestry that one is not to be relied on. It has the enlistment papers for John, the father, where it clearly states that his wife is Catherine Critchlow.

Just for ref as I know you have it, but wanted to see the spelling given

Nyx i have done my tree and have bought certificates and contacted cousins etc my logan side is the worst because of not knowing dads siblings but I did get all his ancestors and their families and the two Mary Frances and Michael but they died young.

Thank you so much for your help
