master brummie
Could anyone help me please i'm trying to find out what part of Southern Ireland Phylis Rossister (not sure if spelt right) was born 9th December 1925 mothers name Ann Speak.Thank's Irene
 
Irene,

I've just checked Irish Genealogy.ie between 1925 and 1927 for Phyllis Rossiter (the normal spelling) and it has provided no results for either civil registration or from church records. Nothing on familysearch.org for your name & date either. Just for good measure, the latter site does not find a single instance of Ann Speak around that date either.
