I always knew that my late Mum and her 4 sisters had a brother that died, but Mum couldn't recall his name. She said he was born about 1922 or 1923.
I found the Death certificate on line, GERARD STEPHEN POLLARD died 24 Jul 1923 aged 9 mths Child of a Painter of 25 Charlemont Street, Dublin. Mother, Emily Pollard, was the informant.
My Grandfather, James Fedalis Pollard was a Painter and Decorator and Granny's name was Emily. Also Emily's father, Michael Patrick Brady Died at 25 Charlemont Street in 1927. So this was looking good.
Well, the Birth Certificate proved that Gerard was indeed my Mum and her 4 sister's brother. He was Born on 23 Oct 1922 at 12 Poolbeg Street, Dublin. Father James Pollard, Painter. Mother Emily Brady. Mum's youngest sister Maureen was born at the same address in 1924 too.
Such a shame that Mum and her sisters had all passed away before I was able to find their only brother's details.
Without knowing Mum's brother's name and the Irish Births, Deaths and Marriage being put on line, I would never have found him.
