Lucky you - only one possible entry for parents!

I'd say this is her mother. However, although it all looks fairly clear, I would advise getting a cert now & again as you go back, just to check you have the right parents - maybe marriage or birth cert for Margaret?

I can't see anything else relating to a Christopher J. Orpen. An Ancestry tree has someone of this name, but he was born in Cork (1889) and married in 1914 in Canada to a Mary Kerr - so hopefully it isn't him and is just a co-incidence!!

No record of Christopher Orpen in Ireland in 1901/1911

Outward travel................this one was born in Suffolk and had two further forenames.....neither of them beginning with 'J'

ORPEN Christopher 1904 M 1934 Liverpool USA New York

ORPEN Christopher 1904 M 1936 Liverpool USA Boston

Is there any way to find out if she has any relatives alive?

Buy her death cert....find out who registered her death

Look on freebmd for births of possible children

Your original request was for ancestors...........you haven't acknowledged the info provided about them

Margaret was a twin............try researching her brother, and any possible family he may have had

If you look on here in 'search all trees' there is an entry for Christopher Orpen with no birth info

Try contacting the tree owner...it's possible (no more than that) that she is his daughter

Thanks for the information provided it seems to be the correct family I have found her twin brothers marriage and death records but I haven't found any children for either Margaret or her brother yet.

Have you followed the advice about searching on here?

I wouldn't have suggested that a tree owner on here was the brother's daughter if I hadn't found possible births on freebmd

Hi Reggie, yes i have looked on freebmd i dont really want to buy a death certificate for Margaret the reason i am looking for her relatives is that i have just moved into a house and i found a few personal not valuable item that belonged to Margaret and i would love it if it was reunited with a family member.

So, you're not related to this family?

I ask again..........have you looked in 'search all trees'?

No not related to them just wanted to pass on something that i have found you see.

I have searched in all trees and i have messaged someone but they are yet to reply to say whether its the right Orpen family

Hope you get the outcome you want
