OK. Just checked freebmd

Only birth for Mahon/Gracie on freebmd is Patricia’s

No marriage for the parents on freebmd

In which country, please?

What research have you done yourself?

Sister of Patricia and Terence. Daughter of Christopher Mahon and Doris Mahon nee Gracie.
Born mid to late 1920s. Last contact in 1940s before the end of WW2.

This is part of my wife's family. A number of her relatives have done exhaustive searches over the years. My posting was a last-ditch attempt (perhaps a naive one!!) to see if there was an instant reaction.

Thanks to all for your contributions.
