Hi Fran<o:p></o:p>

Many thanks for your recent communication. The Birth Certificate of Annie Brown or Browne was virtually destroyed to that end I have copied it almost to its original accuracy as far as could be identified. Annie was born on the 14^TH September 1906, it appears that the birth certificate states in the district of Rathdrum in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">county</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Wicklow</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>. It also appears she was born in Rathmore. As there are a couple of RATH***** in the area thus other areas could be considered however I am sure that we are looking at Rathmore as her registered place of birth she was also born into the Roman Catholic faith. Her Father Patrick Brown was a farmhand and her Mother Mary Anne Brown or Browne formally Dempsey was a housewife. The confusion of the surname has arisen due to the Birth certificate appears to be Brown however the marriage certificate states (Again in bad condition) the surname as Browne. Annie married in a Roman Catholic Church a John Patrick Barnett on the 16^TH January 1932 in the diocese of Dublin the Parish appears to be something like “COLYOW”, Co Wicklow, but I cannot find any village with such a name in the area, John Patrick Barnett was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire on the 10^TH March 1910. If a push comes to a shove I could scan the Marriage & copy Birth certificate for you. Another detail that I have been searching for which may well be in the genes Reunited files is the addresses of the various Parish and or Diocese in that part of <st1:place w:st="on">Southern Ireland</st1:place>.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks Fran for the interest that you have given to me so far.<o:p></o:p>
