Hi Vivienne,

Look at the squiggly 'r' in Ireland - they match. Spelling mistake - no 'u' is common. Can't read the name though lol!

Diolch yn fawr
To both of you.
Maybe It will be clearer in 1861 WHEN I find them,I seem to be losing my touch this week,everyone seems to have gone into hiding on me.

Johanna is a widow in 1881 but I can't find a death for anyone resembling John Lace - or John with a middle name - on FreeBMD.
I can't find them in 1861 although they should be there with a John and a Michael.

Exactly what I found Jan

But Im thinking that maybe they were still in Ireland and it was easier just to say all the kids were born cardiff?

Blessed if I can find martha on 1871 on anc ,even with the piece numbers etc.
Think I had best give this up as a bad job.

You wont find John tobin on freebmd,he was born Ireland.

Edit .......
Thats it!!
I am going to bed as I just realised you were looking for his death NOT HIS BIRTH.

Hi Viv,
If you just put in Martha Thomas b1867
it's the first one with a blank against parents' name.
