As some of you know I have recently found my adopted friend's family and she is in contact with some of her biological cousins. but I am still trying to piece together some of it for her. The surnames are not very common which makes it all the more intriguing.
Her mums name is Patricia Josephine McGonigal b1926 Ireland but was known as June and she changed her first names around.
She married James McCarthy and they had a daughter Elizabeth 1948. My friend was born 1955 and given up for adoption. Her mother had 2 more daughter with Thomas Tobin but she puts her maiden name as Stickings. Both daughters born in Sussex, so in my infinite wisdom i was looking for a marriage for McGonigal to Tobin or to Stickings but must have forgotten to untick the births box and found a birth of A*** i s***** 1953 Hove/Sussex. mothers maiden name McConigal. I have not been able to find any other details for A***** S***** so I am wondering if he is also the son of Particia McGonigal and also given up for adoption. The only marriage I have found for her is her 4th partner Derek C Schofield who she was married to at the time of her death 2011 in Liverpool under the name of June.
I hope that all makes sense.
so if anybody can find any of her marriages (or any more possible births)
My friend's daughter has just got her dna results so i have been explaining that she really needs to be looking at those to see how they fit in. The DNA results have confirmed her cousin connections so thats a relief for me that I had got it right
