Hello! 

 

I have found a Barbara ( birthdate/parents unknown) Folan who gave birth to Mary Folan ( No father entered in the document) on 18th October 1920. I'm curious to know what happened to them.

The Folans are my family and I'm wondering if and how these two are related to me, if they left the workhouse together or got separated. 

 

Any help tracing their records would be amazing. I can't find admissions and discharges from the workhouse, do they exist?

  • Be careful there are five Mary Folan's born that year in the same area.

  • Claire,

    Barbara may have later married the father of Mary. Over 100 years have elapsed since the event.

    Better left there!

    Regards,
