hiya lorraine, thanks for answering. well liz found my grandads birth 1910 in douglas to elizabeth mclarney/robert yates but the only elizabeth mclarney we can find in igi is born in salford 1868/ parents thomas mclarney margaret.
now on igi her marriage to robert shows her father as francis?? and robert,s father as joseph.
so i am very confused now/ but its all a bit of a coincidence that elizabeth mclarney/robert yates are in your family tree and their the parents of my grandad/ so do you think its the same family?
oh and liz is just a member on this board who helps me out at the bmd when she goes there looking for her family history
best wishes debbie
