Find Ancestors

Hi Una - I'm afraid I can't take credit for the useful links - they're from mgnv

I've found a public tree on Ancestry that has details of Charles Patrick Moody's wife and children. His wife was Agnes Davett born 1914 - she died 1946 as a result of complications following the birth of their second son, Francis.

Francis also sadly died very young:

Hi

Thank you. I have spotted that tree which is why I wanted to establish for sure that the owner of the tree and I share the same ancestor.... I'm used to finding ancestors who died in WW1& 2 - this would be first to die in Vietnam... :-(

I used the Republic of Ireland link to order a death certificate for a Gt Gt Granmother who died in Sligo in the 1950s. It worked a treat!

Thank You Again

Una

Hi

The birth certificate came and Charles Patrick Moody is my relative :-D So now I have to make sure that he was the Charles who married Agnes :)))

Also the certificate came that I ordered direct from Dublin about another branch of my family and has proved to be very useful so thanks again for that top tip!

Thank you so much <3

Una

The Charles Moody who died in Dublin is mine as he has the same birthday 2 Sept 1909.
