Research Notes

There was a birth registration for a Michael Brennan born on 1 Nov 1883 in Cumberland to parents Michael Brennan and Anastaia Brophy. This was about 20 years after the unsourced birth date in this profile that matched the 1881 census. This raises questions that finding more sources might clarify. ^[3]
