I have been using a process of elimination to find my late husbands Mother and family. He (Michael Cunningham) was born in Paddington in 1940 to Mary Cunningham, no fathers name or Mums maiden name given. He has a brother John Cunningham born 1945 and because they were sent to Australia as Child Migrants their records have no identifying info on them. |

Hi Mavis. When you say there was no mother's maiden name give on the birth of Michael Cunningham, do you mean his mother's name was Cunningham and there was no father named? |

The birth has been incorrectly transcribed as Cunliffe on Ancestry. |

Rose, you are right. Not sure how you did this but well done! The transciber must have been nodding off... |

Maggie, You asked if my husband Michael Cunningham and his brother had the same addresses etc on their birth cert's. His brother John was born 30.11.1945 and we were sent a birth cert saying he was reg in Kennedy. St Josephs Home had info on John as being reg as Kennedy,but left him as Cunningham.(He was sent as a Child Migrant and lived all his life as John Cunningham.) A real maze heh! |

This is a bit of a maze. I looked through marriages between the 2 brothers birth dates and came across marriage of Michael C S Kennedy to a Mary Laing at Aldershot March 1945 but that was the best I could do. |

Have you checked deaths for Michael Kennedy after John was born - perhaps he died and mother could not cope and that is why the children did not stay with her - perhaps she died and that was the reason the children were sent away. Irene |
