Hello Maureen We have been looking for our Grandfather for a few years with no luck He has down he from Athlone but we are not able to find him? We can't find a birth CERT One time for his mothers name he had Catherine Bracken next time he has Catherine Thomas? We got back to 1903 when he married our grand mother but that's in England See if you can find your family on the census if you know where they were liveing Some years are indexand some are not Hope you are lucky Take Care Eileen
