When Margaret died, her death notice has no mention of her daughter, deeply regretted by Theobald, brothers and sisters, buried Calvery Cemetery

So judging by that her daughter died before her

There's no child called Brew born to a Farrell mother between 1937-1946 in Ireland, England, Wales or Scotland. Can't check NI for that period online.

However, there is a death of a Stella Bray in 1942, aged 1 in Liverpool. You can purchase a copy of that death for £3 on the E/W GRO site - just to rule it out.

What am I missing here?
Photo of Stella Brew shows her much older than 1 year old so she clearly couldn't be the above death registration.
Additionally, FreeBMD shows a Liverpool birth in July/Sept. 1941 quarter for a Stella Bray with mother's maiden name as McTigue.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I was just showing that was the only death that even vaguely matched the name. I didn't think it was her.
