Hi thanks for letting me join your group, I am hoping that you can help me with my search for information on my maternal grandmother.

I dont have a lot of information but here goes with what I know

My mother Sheila Mary Breen Thompson was born in York 7/10/1932, on her birth certificate her parents are Mary Margaret Thompson nee Breen and William Henry Thompson.

My mum told me her mum was from Ireland but didn't say where, I believe my Grandmother commited suicide when my mum was approx 4yrs old and I think that happened in Ireland.

My grandfather was living in York in 1938 and remarried in 1940 also in York.

My mother went to school in Ireland but I don't know any dates for this.

My grandfather and his second wife moved to Ireland in the Gorey and Enniscorthy area, I did wonder if my grandmother came from the Gorey area and perhaps had family there ( maybe they helped with bringing up my Mum ).

As my mum was an only child I have no family to ask .

I wondered if you could direct me in the right direction as to how I could find any information.

I have looked on the English BMD and can't find any record of a marriage or of my grandmothers death so presume these happened in Ireland.

Thank Sue
