Many thanks, this Bridget isn't my Grandmother, it caught me out when I began my search. Thank you very much for your help though.

Hi Jacqueline,

I am trying to find a possible sister for Bridget (my Nan) named Mary possibly born a couple of years before 1907 but not after 1908. Mary Livingston died when my Nan was about 18 months old. Thomas Livingston remarried an Eleanor Hall and I have no idea if there are any half siblings post 1914 either, that is a task for another time.

there was only ONE birth of a Bridget in Lancs between 1896 and the 1950's.....so the 'adopted' child in 1911 surely must be her

Thank you everyone again for all the help, I have been contacted by a direct descendant of Mary, so fingers crossed. She doesn't know if Thomas and had any siblings though, so again any help will be appreciated.
