Yes thank you I had already found Maria in 1901 and I think I've found Caroline's death being registered in 1904. I'm looking to find out more what happened to Maria and Rose after 1911. Thanks again!

Dear all,

Another family mystery, this time on my Mother's side.

I have been trying to find some information about the above people (Maria and Rose Driscoll). I'm pretty sure they are the children from my great-grandfather's (William Driscoll 1878 - 1945) first marriage.

The story goes that William Driscoll could be quite unpredictable shall we say and when his first wife (who I think may have been Caroline Vine 1881 - 1907) was dying she asked a Nun to take the kids away from him somewhere that he wouldn't know about.

Acting on this information I have managed to find a Maria and Rose Driscoll, born in Stepney, London living in Greenfield Billinge Chapel End in Wigan which seems to be some kind of school or maybe orphanage. However, I seem to have come to a brick wall now.

If there are any living relatives of Rose or Maria who may know of this story, or any nice people out there who are just willing to help, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

James
