Can anyone help me?

Started a new tree! My Nan was Alice Rafferty b 1904, her father was James Rafferty b 1866 married Hannah in 1867. Found a little bit on Hannah but cannot find a thing on James that confirms his family.

Has anyone a helpfuly hint?

As James Sr. ' is considerably older than Mary, I wonder if he is actually his father? Have you got his marriage cert?

The helpful hint is to buy all the certificates as you work your way back.

Can anyone tell me how I found info on members who come from Ireland.

As my options are small I wondered if looking towards Ireland I could get a birth connection
