Yes!! I have given myself a few pats on the back, it was just an amazing feeling to be able to get two sisters aged 74 and 64 reunited after all this time...One of them didnt even know she had a sister, the other only found out after the death of her mother in 1984, but was too afraid to look for her sister in case she was rejected and blamed for her mother leaving the family home in 1948...Brought a tear to ma' eye..I felt like Cilla Black in "Surprise! Surprise" lol <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Interestingly Sandra A married in Melton Mowbray which is where Georgina died so looks like the family moved.

The death cert for Georgina will say if she was wife or widow of so you will know if Bernard was still alive then


Edit if you check her birth she is Sandra A not Sandra H

Bernard was definatley arounf in 1959, living in Wandsworth with Georgina M ..It would appear they had a daughter Sandra H Crehan born 1948, I did see her on the genes site but she hasnt replied...Pity, it would save such a lot of going around in circles.. :-(

As Shirley advised you really need to obtain a copy of the 1933 marriage certificate to find out what age she was when getting married and who her father was. Crehan is of course a common surname in Ireland so perhaps Bernard and Mary originated there.

It looks possible that the 1933 marriage produced a child in 1937.

Mmm the birth for Margaret in 1894 would make her in her 40s when she married and a good 10 years older that Joseph...
