Thank you. My sister-in-law knows of the 4 children you mention (3 uncles and an aunt).

Were you aware of the first child born in Ireland in 1923?

No. Is this child Henry / Martha Jane's or William Henry Lines / Hannah Heyburn's?



I have some quite interesting bits about Hannah and her mother Martha but will hold off from posting until Jim Webster responds.

Appreciate the links. Can you help with a link to the Martha Jane (Hannah's sister / half sister) birth registration in 1898.

I have tried to get to grips with the information provided and ready to be proved wrong but here goes.
my Hannah born 14/10/1903 in the Birmingham area would seem to be wrong.
Another Hannah born exactly 1 year earlier in Newtownards is more likely.
If the Newtownards one is right Hannah has an older sister (Martha Jane 23/4/1898). No fathers name on either birth certificate.
Martha Jane and Hannah's mother Martha goes on to marry Henry Ramsay (22/12/1917} and they have 3 children (Margaret, Marion and Thomasina) who are Hannah's half sisters.
If I have understood the information correctly I will speak to my sister-in-law (who was born in the same area in Birmingham) and let her know what I have found. She is adamant that her grandmother Hannah was of Irish decent.
Thank you again for the information you have provided.
Jim
