It was your find of the birth, Andy, which was the real breakthrough..........

Looks like the little snippet from your aunt has cracked it!

there is also a possibility that Francis was R C - his mother was irish

No she didn't, she just moved out, and took up with Charles (IMO)

Divorce was virtually unheard-of for ordinary mortals in those days
