Hello,

I am trying to trace my mum’s birth mother, Bridget McCormick who was born on 2nd February 1936 in Ireland (we believe she was born in County Cork). My Mum was born on 28th May 1961 at Whittington Hospital in Islington, London. She was working as a Nurse in London at the time.

Any info. no matter how small would be great.
