I am trying to make contact with Maureen or Oliver, I think they were born in Boyle Ireland.

I do not have their surnames but their Mother was Ellen Harrington born 1895 in Charlestown County Mayo, she is the daughter of Thomas Harrington and Mary Gallagher, Thomas was a farmer in Bracklagh, Kilbeagh, County Mayo.

Maureen was probably born around 1929, she spent sometime living at 41 Hawthorne Grove, Meols Cop, Southport with her Uncle Thomas (her mother's brother). I saw her there around 1950 ish and I haven't had any contact with her since.

I think she did spend sometime living in London.

I know this is a long shot because I don't have the surname but thought I'd give it a go because I do know uite a bit about their mother.

I think Ellen Harrington moved to Boyle after she married, her husband's name could be Miles but not really sure.

Any help would be really appreciated.

If you go to Friends Reunited, you can do a street search. If you enter the address you have, there may be a neighbour listed who would know of the family.
Good luck,
Liz

Thanks Liz, but I don't think that would be much use as she only spent a short time in Southport with her uncle Thomas who is my husbands grandfather. I have lots of info on Thomas it's Maureen & Oliver I need info on.
