Hello Margaret, I'm afraid that's not giving us much to go on!

What are their full names? Where and when were they born?

When you say relatives do you mean descendants, siblings, ancestors?

Have you used the "Search Trees" facility on the menu above to see if they're in anyone else's tree?

Regarding previous post - sorry I am new to this. A Mary Farrelly gave birth to me in 1952, she would have been living in Islington at that time in Highbury New Park. I believe she was born in 1933 and married in 1959 but I am not sure if this is the same Mary Farrelly (middle name Theresa). Perhaps anyone could shed some light? Thank you.

As you will have discovered, the marriage record shows a second forename

To find out if it was Theresa, you would have to buy the cert

Her age at the time will be recorded..............which may, or may not, help you.

The name is inherently Irish, so she may have come across to England simply to give birth

Were you adopted?

If so........add yourself to the national adoption contact register

I now know that Cornelius B Coughlan married Mary Theresa Farrelly in Islington in 1959. I believe Mary was born approx 1933 and assume they were both Irish as I cannot find any information on their births. I have an address of 90 Highbury, Islington for Mary in 1952 but cannot find any other information. I would be grateful for any leads and would love to know if they had any children.
