Hello I'm new to this too and do not know where to begin,
My Grandma was Gertrude CONLAN, but apart from finding her at the age of 16, in kingsCo, ( now Co Offlay), I can not trace her birth or parentage, I seem to recall her Mother being Alice and I know there was a James and a Patrick,
Just wondered if there was a link to my CONLAN and yours??
Many thanks Jackie.
