Title: Esther Nixon - Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown
Post by: KennyBrown.NI on Monday 03 January 22 21:25 GMT (UK)

Hi Guys,

Hope you can help. I have searched findmy grave, ancestry and contacted all known living family members.

I am searching for Esther Hanora Nixon born 23 Mar 1910, Newbridge Street, Birr, Kings County (Offaly).

Photo taken August 1939 on the steps of her parents home:
8 Clarinda Park, Dún Laoghaire.

We know that Esther had polio as a child and wore a leg brace.

Her mother Annie Nixon died in 1940 and her father Patrick Nixon died in 1953.

She was last seen to our knowledge living at the parents address in Dún Laoghaire but we cannot find out what happened to Esther. Her family are well recorded in newspapers births deaths and marriages etc.. but we believe Esther never married and we cannot find when she died or where she was buried.

Any tips to help us learn what happened to Esther would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
