Do you know the profession of her father, and when her parents died?
Are they likely to be Irish?
How did you find out her Mother's maiden name?
Thanks

Wow thank you everyone, I am still figuring out how all this works! Yes I do have a fair bit of info on Ellen, but am hoping to find more information on any relatives that may still be alive on her side so I can find more about her life as she died when I was just 2 or 3 yrs old.

Thanks so much

I am searching for any information on my mother, Ellen Veronica Crawshaw. She was Born in or near Liverpool or Birkenhead, Merseyside England in 1912. She committed suicide on the 27th January 1940, she was 27 years old. She is buried in Bebbington Cemetry, Cheshire.

She married John James (aka Jack) Crawshaw of Birkenhead on the 19th December 1936, and had two daughters, Jacquline Crawshaw b. 9th November 1937 and Norma Crawshaw b. 7th September 1939.

Her father was James McCarthy and he was a Railwayman. She had 2 sisters, Mary and Iris (possibly more) and a brother who lived in Blackpool.
Any further information on her would be greatly appreciated.
