How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) / Old posts
« on: Friday 16 August 13 18:57 BST (UK)  »
Today I came across an old post on this forum from 2007.  I have responded but how do I know if the enquirer is still accessing Rootschat.com and has picked up my message?

Lanarkshire / Re: Any Tyrrells or Flynns out there?
« on: Friday 16 August 13 09:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello Miram,

I have been looking into my family tree and came across your message on rootschat although  I realise it was in 2007.

My grandmother's birth certificate names her parents as Charles Tyrrell (coalminer) and Mary Flynn which makes them my great grandparents.

My grandmothers birth certificate has Charles and Mary's wedding date as 19th January 1905.

They had 2 children.  My grandmother who was born in November 1905 and is called Helena (Ella?).
My grandmother had a younger brother called Charles.  I have been looking for them unsuccessfully in the 1911 Census and if it is the same family then it makes sense that they will not show up on the census if they emigrated to the USA.  Helena (if it is the same person) must have come back to the UK as she married my grandfather in 1929.

I know that Charles attended my grandmothers funeral in Lanarkshire in 1960.  I was only a baby but my parents told me he was there.
 
I'd be really grateful if you could let me know if it is the same family.

I may be able to fill in any gaps in your search.  I have a little information about the Tyrrells and Flynns in Belfast.

Yours,

Gerry
