Please bear with me!
My wife's father's mother was Eileen Pretoria O'Donnell. Of that I have documentary evidence (birth certificate). I am awaiting a confirmation birth certificate for EP at the moment. I am quite sure that her father was John O'Donnell (1853-). His wife was Emma Ann Nutty (1861-1909) They were in Kent at the beginning of 1900's. They had quite a few children. John was a soldier and the some kind of builder(?) and moved about a bit. John and Emma married in chelsea (I found the wedding bann). Emma Ann's father was William J Nutty (1834-1898) and he was married to Emma Creedy 1826-(I hope!)
That is what I have, is it enough?
Just had confirmation that EP's mother was a Emmeline O'Donnell nee Nutty. I cannot find and Emmeline anywhere on Ancestry but the marriage documents (see above) confirm an Emma. It seems she was a Matron at SS Greenstreet at Shorncliffe Camp in 1900. I cannot find out anything about that either!
Thanks for your patience.
