Does anyone know how to find living relatvies (looking to find Bridget Hanly) and to see if she may have had any children that could be my Mothers Brothers & Sisters or if Bridget had any Brothers & Sisters that could by my mothers Aunties & Uncles.?

If all else fails Jacqui I would consider contacting newpapers in the area, this is one I think would cover it,

my mum did this back in the 60s and managed to trace Irish relatives.

You wouldn't need to be too specific on who you are, just ask if anyone has information on the family?

hi Somerset girl, remember me jacqui, looking to find Bridget Hanly, who gave birth to my mother Mary Hanly in 1942?
well although I never found bridget her self but we have managed to find some info on her - she married a Brenden O'Callaghan in 1950, they had 4 children Mary, Bernadett, Patricia and Hilda who was born in 1957. They lived in Dublin last known address is 68 Clifden Rd. Ballyfermot Dublin. back in 1957.
me and my husband Kevin went to Ireland in Sept and through some very nice people we managed to find Bridgets eldest brother James Hanly who had 3 daughter one of whom we met called Mary Hanly now Grenham and she lives in Ballinasloe, she was very nice but had no additional info for us as she and her sisters never met Bridget or her children. I was now wondering if you have any ideas how to find Bridgets children? there is also a possibility that they moved to England. Any suggestions welcomed.

Perhaps it might be worthwhile leaving a message on the following website:

You need to register (free) before leaving your message.
No need to be too specific, just enquire if anyone has information on where the girls are now or who they might have married.

Good luck.
