    Garner family

    These may sound like a silly questions, however as I have been unable to find any marriages either anywhere in the Uk for the mother's names mentioned... Do you have any of the children's birth cert's that confirm that these were their mother's maiden names? If so my only other suggestion is...

    Got a puzzle here!

    Sometimes, as in the case of my half brother if he died in the hospital where he was born, both the Birth and Death can be recorded on the same certificate. Although they are both reg' on both birth and Death records with the same number , Just a thought.

    Feeney family

    Hi Guys that's brilliant... so we were looking for Feeney/Butts... wounder where the 'Butts' came from? I tell you genealogy is like doing Jig-Saw Puzzles... However Jig-Saws are often easier because at least there is a clearer picture to follow even if there' s bit missing LOL! :)
