    Hiya Chris.......found your mums birth registration
    Veronica O`Toole b 1913 JUNE QTR...so apr may june mothers maiden name REDMOND..17th feb fits perfect West Derby , Liverpool 8b 620 if you want to order the birth certificate
    ......so that`s the first bit of info....I am going to try www.lancashirebmd.org.uk and see if I can get some other info..
    It would appear that the brother was Denis and was born 1911 sep qtr 8b 679 and died as a baby the same qtr 8b 580 , not in childbirth- although it is possible Mary did die in childbirth in 1918 having another son...
    So can you confirm that Sarah was in fact Sarah Redmond....

    James O`Toole married Margaret J Sutcliffe in mar qtr 1919
    Mary E O`Toole death mar qtr 1918......so he didn`t marry for at least 9 months..but could quite easily have been living with Margaret after 6 weeks.....allan

    Hiya Chris
    James O`Toole married Mary Ellen Redmond Sep qtr 1893 8b 293
    so the death of Mar E OToole in 1818 IS CORRECT.....

    ALLAN
    added....Mary Ellen Redmond b dec qtr 1872 Bootle 10b 673....so it looks like Mary Ellen wasn`t born in Ireland
    too much of a coincidence for them to marry and live in Bootle......probably James was from Dublin and Mary from Bootle....your decision....and she would have been 35 at her death..so your info was correct
    all on www.freebmd.org.uk .allan
