Wow responses already, cheers!

Well I've not got the certificate but I've got the birth record. It says births in Jan, Feb, March 1929 (family word of mouth reckons his birthday was Jan 31st). The record also says that his mother's maiden name was Gartland.

I've got the record of death for James Spencer in 1960 in Birkenhead as well.

Thank you for the responses.

Yeah I think there are too many Boylans in ireland to make what I'm looking for jump out.

I think it was probably James' father who made the trip over from Ireland, but as I mentioned, I'm really not sure on a birth date, spouse or area where he was from.

Is there a decent way of finding out the records for James' father as I can only find his mother's maiden name from that record sheet?

Thanks again for the help.

If your tree is based on guesswork, you need some certificates.

Deaths Mar 1936
Boylan Hannah 82 Birkenhead 8a 792

Added:

?
Births Mar 1856
CROOK Hannah Wirral 8a 408

or had Hannah been married before, and Crook is not her maiden name?

Ellie, as stated, you really need to get some certificates to get the actual facts. Order from GRO, they cost £9.25.
