This is a very long shot. I am trying to find out any information about a George Francis Martin Or
Francis George Martin born in Limerick Ireland he may or may not have had a brother, not sure date of his birth but he married in Derbyshire can't find a name for his wife or date of marriage, But brides name could have been Warren, he had a daughter Kathleen born in Derbyshire on January 17th 1919 or January 17th 1920 Kathleen had a sister Doris believed to be older than Kathleen.
Francis George Or George Francis was known as Frank he joined the RAF as a young man then it is believed he may have become a coal miner in Derbyshire he had a women relaive with the name Mcavoy maybe( Maggie Mcavoy ) or a simuliar sounding name also believed to live around Limerick area when young sorry I can not give any better information.I know it is a long shot b

And Kathleens birth cert will give you parents names.

Only Doris Martin with mothers maiden name of Warren I can see on freebmd was born in Suffolk in 1912....But prior to 1911 mothers maiden was not listed on index.
