message sent to poster advising there is info on here for her

thanks for all information ,really helpful and interesting especially as my granddaughter was reading it with me (she never knew her great granddad ),she is now helping me build a family tree ,so need as much info as possible. can anyone tell me how to find info of Irish records .as this is where my grandma .Winifred Collins nee Southerton was born.

Also, you can look at

https://familysearch.org/

But I'm not sure why you think you need Irish info.

She was the only one of the children born there - due to her father being in the Army and posted to the country

You have the names of her parents, so the only snippet that you are missing is her actual DOB

I hope you plan to follow the advice about trying to contact the other member researching the Southertons
