Many thanks Margaret. The thing is that after 1901 I have completely 'lost' Bertha.. Did she stay in Coppull, move away, etc...I've got her down as marrying my father in 1919, but as stated, it's only guess work.. I've searched for any possible death of this woman after 1901 to possibly 1914, just to see if it was the same Bertha. (Checking on this name, there were quite a few Bertha Walshs' in Chorley
area..This is coming out in a way that I must be confusing everyone who reads it..Cheers Margaret.

Can anyone on Genes Reunited come up with ANYTHING on this lady...........
BERTHA WALSH... (possibly Bertha Elizabeth Walsh).
Born Sept. 1892 in Coppell, Chorley, Lancs..
Daughter of Edward Walsh and Ellen Waine...
Brother of Bertha..... Walter, born 1891.
Brother of Bertha..... Edward. born 1897... All in Coppull,Chorley.
This lady could have been my mother but without any info on any of them after 1901 all I am doing is guessing. I've looked and searched, asked almost begged, but to no avail..
The men in the white coats are arriving next week as well !!!!!
many thanks..John
