Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of death?
« on: Sunday 29 June 25 14:42 BST (UK)  »
My Father had a Brother who was born and died in 1949.

There were 2 rumours for his cause of death, one that his Mother fell in the street and lost him soon after and the second that he was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

This death record shows his cause of death, I cannot make out the second word.

Can anyone help?

I think the other words are;

Asphyxia
???
Heart Failure

Then certified.

The death registered at Dublin might name the mother as Beatrice as informant but the handwriting is atrocious.  The father's occupation is Clerk.

Thank you very much for this, it’s definitely them - they lived at ‘56 Blaney Park’ and his father was registered as ‘clerk’ on my Father’s birth certificate also.

Would there be a record of where he may have been buried?

Dublin / Search for birth & death of O’Brien boy
« on: Saturday 28 June 25 23:06 BST (UK)  »
My Father tells me that his Mother lost a Son when he was around 2 years old.

My Father was born 1944 at 7 Herbert Place in Dublin.

On my Father’s birth certificate his Mother’s name is “Beatrice Fitzsimons” even though her family name was Simmonds.

I’ve found a record for a possible birth that’s “Male O’Brien” but cannot seem to find a death record and have no idea how I’d find where this boy may have been buried?

Many thanks for any help, this has long been a sensitive mystery for my Father.

I’ve attached my Father’s birth record from Ancestry and what I believe may be the birth of his brother (later than what Dad thought)

Not sure about this, but I'll post it anyway. Friday, 8th August, 1919. Report in the Herald. It's sort of readable but how I found it

This is fascinating and explains who the attendees in the photograph that I have are, thank you so much.

Does it continue on below? The wedding breakfast…..

I posted the photo on a Caernarfon page and many people believe it was taken from St Helen’s school, so I wonder whether they’d have held their post wedding celebration there?

I’ll search newspapers.

I’m told that sadly both of their children were born sleeping, not looked yet.

If you look very carefully at the image, there appears to be a very feint "96" and some more notation written above 1886 as if to correct her dob. They also have the son's year of birth wrong by 2 years, later corrected.

Someone knew her correct dob given the death registration has it correct

Ah yes, I see that now. I have it printed in black and white and it looks so faint, but now you’ve pointed it out I can see.

Yes, Lucy did marry Francis Nolan, I'm in contact with their daughter who's just turned 94. She has very little knowledge about her parents.

There were whispers in the family that George Featherstone's death was suspicious, I see from the article that he suffered 'a brief illness'.

From what has been posted (thank you very much for your help) the pub at Eccles Road was also where my Great Grandmother worked and is listed on the 1901 census as 'Nellie Holan' which is a mistranscribed 'Nolan'. William Featherstone is the head at the time.

Lucy Nolan is listed on the 1939 register as having been born in 1886. With her being born in 1896 this means she was 20 years younger than her husband Frank, born 1876 (which is news to their daughter, she didn't realise the gap was so large).

I'm confused by this actually, on the 1901 Census record Ethel and George Featherstone are living with their 4 year old daughter 'Lucy', however Lucy Featherstone (who was definitely Ethel's daughter) was born 16th October 1886, so she was in fact 14 years old.

I cannot find a birth for Lucy Featherstone in 1886.

I'm suspecting that she was not the daughter of George Featherstone.
