If.........and I mean IF.........her father is the Patrick born 1905 it does actually make sense.

You know........Patrick leaves his wife Esther and family to work in a hotel in London and has a fling with Laura.

He might not even have told Laura he was married. (You did say you thought he was single and who knows what other lies he might have told her?) Perhaps Laura didn't tell him she was expecting a child. I very much doubt that Patrick would have told his family about the child even if he knew that Laura was expecting.

As mentioned earlier........perhaps Laura knew that Patrick was married and the story told to Freda about him being born in Cork, Ireland and then emigrating to Australia was a kindness to her daughter.

Pure speculation of course........but it does make sense.

(Or maybe I have been reading too many Catherine Cookson novels!!) :-D

I don't see a Tiber Gardens (was Tiber Street renamed when area was redeveloped?), but I've checked 1935- 1937 on Tiber Street, Islington and I don't see a Patrick McEvoy listed.

If he was registered to vote, it would probably be at his permanent home address
