Hi Louisa,
Yes I do  know David, he is my cousin. My mother did enjoy many visits  to her nieces and nephews over the years. I am pleased to hear you met with her. She was a character.

I have just got a copy of the Death Certificate. Robert Whelan's wife Alice. Alice died on 29th July 1885  4 months after David Whelan (my grandfather) was born. She died of tuberculosis she was 31 years. You may already have this information.

Kindest Regards.
