Hi,
I am in need of help with the following family as my research has come to a complete standstill. I have been trying to trace the O'Hanlon family of Belfast, but have reached the point where my James O'Hanlon could be any of four candidates in the birth registers.
I would really like to get in contact with any O'Hanlon families in Belfast or those who might be related to Martha Russell. It is also possible that the Franky Corr listed below is also still alive and it would be nice if someone knows him, if he could contact me.
I have a birth certificate for Patrick O'Hanlon born at 43 St Dock St, Belfast on the 30th June 1939 to James O'Hanlon and Martha Russell.
And a marriage certificate:
Church of St Patrick's, Belfast
14th July 1923 James O'Hanlon aged 20 Bachelor and labourer of Exchange Street son of James O'Hanlon Labourer and Martha Russell aged 17 spinster and spinner of 8 Portland Street daughter of Thomas Russell a labourer.

I am sorry I do not have any birthdates.
James O'Hanlon senior may have been born around 1903-1904 and I have traced four birth entries all with a father called James! I do not know which one is my James, so if there is anyone out there who can help I will be very very grateful.
Many of the O'Hanlon's (James snr, Patrick, Thomas?) joined the Merchant Navy and I am in possession of some of their records. Unfortunately, they do not help with origins.
Many thanks.
PS. I am actually a professional researcher and started this family years a go for a customer, however I have sinced used up any fee she gave me and I am doing this for free for her because I would love to resolve this mystery and help her with it.
