Eileen Josephine Courtney lived in Ireland in Scots or Rock house County MONAGHAN.

On 23 Sept 1941 she gave birth to a son called Brian in Port Stewart near Londonderry.

He was adopted by a family in Wales with the surname Everson.

She was not married when she gave birth.

Could anyone help me/point me in the right direction to find out about her - birth, marriage?, maybe death?

Brian Everson is my father, so your help will be appreciated.

Thanks :-)

If your father is still alive he can ask Social services to help him find her

If not you may find it difficult to find her or you may up set people by looking please take care


May I ask where you got this ladies info from please?

Birth Certificate.

you then need to look on Ancestry.com or another site which holds these type of registrations to see if she married

Now I have looked BUT there are 6 ladies whom DECLAIRE they are Eileen J whom married but none I can see in Londonderry...some only say they are eileen

and sorry to say thats where your problem may lay

In getting to the bottom of the list of which eileen J courtney is the one your require to move forward

I do think may be you have a date of birth which may help as you may have a mothers maiden name which should be given by eileen when she marries which will be on her marriage registration

are eileens parents on her birth certificate ? we could use them to help trace

Thanks Kempina.

I suppose i could also search birth certificates for Eileen Josephine Courtney too, and then I could use the date of birth to find a later marriage certificate.

She lived in the Republic Of Ireland, just across the border from Northern Ireland.
