Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,619 Send Message	Just the way it's written in the records - will mean Catherine Bermingham married Christopher Shannon 1916 Their daughter Susan C Shannon with Mother's maiden name Bermingham was born 1917 Susan C Shannon married Harold Cotterill 1938 You should try this free site - https://www.freebmd.org.uk to hunt for births, marriages and deaths between 1837 and around 1970 and you'll be able to find the records posted by Andy. Sheila would appear to have 2 brothers born in the 40's - you'll find their names on the site
